One of the more entertaining gym classes in grade school was when everyone had to simultaneously touch their toes or do the splits. The room was mostly filled with laughter, cries of pain or the thud of people falling over. There was usually only 2 or 3 kids that could do these stretches without any trouble.
Today’s Maximumble is trashed.
I haven’t been able to properly touch my toes since I was about eight – Not even when I was in top wrestling form. I suffer from extreme muscle tightness, and no amount of stretching has ever aleviated it.
So I’d have been on of those kids falling over.
I was the kid showing off by touching the floor with my palms…
@caelonna, same here..
I loved doing those stretches, especially when they wanted us to stretch our legs, I’d just keep pushing my leg until I felt the stretch and at that point other kids felt sick and one Gym teacher ran over and was about to call an ambulance because “legs shouldn’t bend that way”
