It made me
happy
 "I felt much better and surprisingly healthier!"
How I did it: I go to kick boxing classes and when I first started I couldn't touch my toes without my legs being bent. The point I could reach was just after my knee! Lessons & tips:

It made me
Very pleased!
How I did it: I don't know if it just comes with the territory of being tall, but I've always struggled with achieving the same v-sit, touch-your-head-to-your-knee flexibility of my shorter counterparts. All the same, when I took up going to the gym regularly late this past winter and stretching faithfully after my workouts, it didn't take too long and - surprise to me! - I could touch my toes.In truth my flexibility comes and goes with how regularly I… Read how I did it…

It made me
Happy :)
How I did it: Well, I used my brain and thought up an excersise to be able to touch my toes. I used my grandmas excersise machine that you have to push on to do and reached to the floor instead of going across. I'm not fat if you're wondering why I couldn't touch my toes. It's just that I'm really tall for my age. Read how I did it…
It made me
Successful
How I did it: I tired EVERYTHING, and I couldn't seem to touch my toes, until one day, I sat on the floor, grabbed my feet with my knees bent, and just push my legs forward without letting go. Each time I did it, I got farther, and Farther! Read how I did it…

Whenever I do this it feels really good to be able to stretch this far and gives me a small sence of acomplishment.

I seem to have hit a wall at my ankles that I just can’t get past. I’m going to have to find a way past it if I’m going to be successful here.
9-7 Update
2 years ago
I have been stretching twice a day when I can. There have been several days that I haven’t stretched due to work schedule. I have been using a routine that my kids Karate coach gave me. Pretty basic. Doing the stretches while watching TV for 30 minutes or so. I am now able to touch my right toe while sitting on the floor but still 8-10 inches from touching my toes in a standing/bent over position. Left leg real tough to get any results, probably due to the back injury I have/had. Next entry in a week or two.
First Day
2 years ago
I’ve had poor flexibility for years. I am in good shape and fairly athletic but I’m not able to come close to touching my toes (straight legs arms hanging down and I’m 12 inches from my toes). I had back surgery 3 years ago and my hamstrings have been very tight ever since. After having my left hamstring go into spasm twice today, I decided to set this goal. My plan is to stretch twice a day to start. I am no expert on stretching but I’m gonna do some research and give it my best shot. I’ll try to reach my goal of touching my toes in 3 months. I’ll update as I go…....

Stretching at high velocity

Have taken to stretching calves by leaning forward on my road bike from time to time. We’ll see if it works.
