5 – Do The ‘Sit And Reach Test’

sit-and-reach

This test helps to measure the flexibility of your lower body, mainly the legs and lower back. The sit and reach test involves sitting flat on the ground with both legs together. Place your feet flat against a 90-degree surface, such as a table, and lean forwards towards your toes.

If you can reach your toes you can consider yourself quite flexible. Beyond your toes is very flexible, and anything below means that you have reduced flexibility. The good news is that this very action helps to stretch out your hamstrings, improving your flexibility over time.
