    I'm quite flexible, and I'm not naturally thin. Even at the end of both my pregnancies (and my kids were 10 days and 12 days overdue) I could still paint my nails, go for long walks, and put my foot on my head! My mum found it funny that straight after giving birth to my first I was sitting cross legged on the bed, chatting away to my sister on the phone!

    You can train your body to become more flexible by doing certain stretches routinely. So nope! I always have thought that too though.

    The most flexible person I know is pretty chubby. I'm thin-ish and not that flexible.

    I've always been very bendy, I could wrap my arms around (like hugging myself) and link my fingers behind me, until my boobs got too big and have been in the way ever since.

    But I also have some sort of freakish (I thought it was normal till I was about 17) range of motion with my joints. For example... I can put my palm flat on a surface with my fingers pointing away from me and then turn my arm so that the inside of my elbow is also facing the same way.

    I've always found chubby and thin women flexible enough for my needs... ;-)
