I’ve never been able to touch my toes, at least not in any recollection of this life. Even as a child I couldn’t manage it. I find this strange because I’m hyper-flexible—so much so that I wish I had taken advantage of it as a youngster and taken up gymnastics or dance or something.
My father says its genetic—that he never could either. The doctor apparently told him that the muscles in the backs of his knees are just too short.
But I have hope that maybe, someday. Through a combination of weight loss, stretching, yoga/pilates, perhaps I can do it at least once in my future.
