Had a fitness test today and everything went well except for the flexibility test. Who can sit with their feet up against a wall, reach forward keeping your knees straight and touch the wall with your palms. This stretch was extremely difficult in the beginning because of my very tight hamstrings. On my 3rd try, I could only get to my shoelaces...I know I suck! Who can actually do this?
I thought just sitting on floor with my legs out was the test, I didnt know I had to bend over to touch wall. I dont stretch enough and know it. I can not touch the wall or shoes, hell I am trying to reach my knees.
lol on trying to reach your knees - me to bro!
f this test
LOL!!! I'll post a stretching routine if you need it...especially for the hamstrings!
I can do it :D
I'm very flexible in my legs. But I can't do the pretzel. Haha.
I can do it. When I stretched everyday for football I was more flexible than I am now..but I can still do it easily. When your on your back and you have one person sit on your say right leg and stretch your left leg..I used to be able to touch my left toes to the ground haha it looked really gay..coach called me a ballerina haha
mine sucked too. i could only score 32cm. what was your reach?
I was measured in inches and I scored a 12...really bad! And that was after the 3rd try.Quote:

I've very flexible in that department, although being built like a ballerina might have something to do with it. I can stretch so far forward in the sitting position I can go over the top of my feet and touch the balls of my feet with my fingertips. For my ESSF class I had to do a flexibilty lab and on the sit 'n' reach I scored like 2 or 3 inches off the chart
Yea I know, my score sucks!!! I'm committed to working on my flexibility.Quote:
