shyguy Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I can sympathise with you Francis, but can't make the excuse of a beer belly as I don't drink He was so narrow minded he could see through a keyhole with both eyes.

Rockpup Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Halfway down my shin in 3" sneakers... hrmf.. not a beer gut (yet) here either, but even in high school I couldnt touch my toes.

TabascoTesa Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 In four-inch heels, I was able to touch my toes without bending my knees. If you added another inch I'd probably fall over dead though. Or at least just fall over. But I'm young yet, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new_look Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 this excercise mainly works the muscle flexibility of the lower back, rather like sitting down and trying to reach out and touch your toes. We used to do it in karate for stretching exercises to make you more able to bend double. In heels and standing up, the shoe just points the toes further away from your hands, so you have to stretch further to reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

new_look Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 just for the record, i cant do it. 6 years ago i could, when i karate trained and got my black belt could do the splits too, but now i appear to have unflexed as i cant bend half as far or stretch half as wide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladerunner Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Now i've always wanted to do the splits,but i think i would end up hospitalising myself.It would'nt be a pretty sight! I just love those suede heels!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stilettofan Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Just out of curiosity I tried to do it. And, believe it or not, I succeded three times out of five without having been rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment so far OK, OK, heels weren't a full 5", just 4 3/4" (12cm), but I think that's not too bad either.

xaphod Posted May 1, 2004 Author Share Posted May 1, 2004 Blade .... yes, I was a HHGtoG fan for a while. I tried to type ZAPHOD, but hit X by mistake and didn't notice before hitting return, thus setting up my old IP irreversibly and forever. The reason I posted this thread was that the quack invited me in for a check up because I havn't seen him for about 10 years. One of the things he asked me to do was the above .... I have always been pretty flexible, so there was no problem doing that. The thought occurred that I might try it in my 5" Fuss courts, so, arriving back home and changing, I just manged it. As Blade says, you find tendons you didn't know existed, especially at the back of your knees. Now .... shall I see if I can still get my feet behind my head.

BobHH Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Not a problem! The backs of the knees tend to limit the reach until they are loosened and warmed up by exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stilettofan Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Very good, Emma! When I read that sentence again right now, I realized that it could be easily interpreted that way. That made me laugh. But, in fact, that might have happened if I wouldn't have stopped the exercise just a second before the damage would be done. It's always good to know when to stop!

xaphod Posted May 4, 2004 Author Share Posted May 4, 2004 Sorry xaphod but you are not even gonna tempt me to try the feet behind the head routine,have some dignity man! PS i loved that programme! OK .... I know it looks grotesque, but it won me a few pints at Uni when some of the guys refused to believe I could do it. It was not too bad when I walked around on my hands, but when I fell over backwards, I was stranded ! PS ..... what programme ? Xa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
