Flexibility Testing - Test How flexible you really are


Knowing how flexible you are helps you evaluate your present flexibility levels, form a stretching routine for your lagging areas and improve on them. Use these simple flexibility tests for better assessment.

The Standard Flexibility Test

A standard test requires a standard sit and reach box. This is available in gyms and the trainer will help you perform this test. Since this website is for common people and not fitness professionals and since commonly we don't keep sit and reach box at home, i will skip this test and suggest you simple exercises to evaluate your flexibility levels.

Low Back region

Since this is the commonest area, I will address it.

Simple Stretching Exercises like side bends and forward bends will be difficult for people with lower back problems and inflexible lower backs. This may also be due to tight hamstrings.
