[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, pretty easily, and I'm 52. I am not an athlete, nor do I go to yoga classes, however, I have always been flexible and have pretty good balance.  [b]And I'm petite. I think that helps.[/b]

DH is 6'+, terrible balance, and he can't do it, but he's in much better physical shape than I am. He exercises a lot more than I do.

I read that being able to squat all the way down is also a good indication of flexibility and strength.[/quote]

Agree! Plus flexibility. My DH could not do it as well. He looked perplexed as he tried. I’m low to the ground (short) and flexible and popped right up. [/quote]

Yeah I'm going to guess this is like the wolf turn in gymastics where it favors people who are not only strong, but also short.[/quote]

I have a 35” inseam and couldn’t do this even though I work out 90 minutes a day 5 days a week, so I have to wonder if there’s something to this…[/quote]

My guess is poor core strength here, not your inseam.[/quote]
