Can you touch your toes to your head?

Asked by IBERnineD (7324points) December 14th, 2009

My father has always gauged how in shape he was by seeing if he can touch his toes to his head. He is still able to and is 58 years old.
Tonight a friend asked if I was able to and it got me thinking, who else is able to do it? Also how to you gauge how in shape you are?

Do it. Seriously. We have like 5 pictures of jellies trying to kick themselves in the face. Andrew did it!

hmmm, everyone’s asleep right now so no one can take a picture…but if I’m standing and I bend forward, I can touch my forehead to my shins, that’s all

It’s not even a strain. Easy.

I do not have a way to share pictures.

Nope, but I’m sure if I didn’t have scoliosis I could. But I am still pretty limber from sports. I have pictures of me doing other things though teehee

That’s not as sexual as it sounds lol

What about those of us who are disabled? Can we get a different body part or borrow someone else’s toes?

stormy's avatar

I did it…but can’t really post a pic right now…it wasn’t hard at all…seems as everyone should be able to do it…I even put my whole foot behind my head..

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

wait? are we keeping our legs straight or bending them up to the head?

gggritso's avatar

Someone post an example picture.

@gemiwing we don’t discriminate! Grab a partner’s leg!!!
@Simone_De_Beauvoir you may bend!

IBERnineD's avatar

@gggritso I could always post yours!

gggritso's avatar

Well then. That backfired most excellently.

I can but I try to avoid to do so as I hate athlete’s scalp.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

I can’t get in… – it’s not accepting my user name and password…
but if I can bend, then of course I can do it

cyn's avatar

you guys make me chuckle.

twirling my evil goatee and searching for some toes to commandeer

La_chica_gomela's avatar

Tomfafa's avatar

At first I tried it whiteout bending my knees… ha ha… then I realized it was easy with my knees bent.
.
Not only can I touch my head… but I can pick my nose with my big toe!!!
.
I am pretty good at kicking my own ass btw…

I got my dog’s paw in my face.. does that count?

RubyReds's avatar

LoL! Cant try it now, I am at work. Will try it tonight though. I do know that I can still do the splits, me being 42. Is that a goody??

Tomfafa's avatar

RubyReds… can do a split!? You busy friday night?

ratboy's avatar

I’m not sure I have toes—I haven’t seen them in years. Does it count if the process involves amputation?

Gabstar's avatar

hahaha, no way, cant i do that :P

Dr_C's avatar

Done and done… It seems i’m pretty flexible for a tall guy.

deni's avatar
