It is often said that computer use makes one unfit. Is it so?

Stand with your heels against a wall.
Touch your toes.
Can you do it?

I will assess results this afternoon

Thanks

I can’t bend over and touch my toes when my heels aren’t against a wall, but I’ve never been able to do so, even before I had a computer :smiley:

Computer use has not affected my unability to touch my toes either. If I stand against the wall with my butt touching it and my knees bent, I bet I could touch my toes. :smiley:

I stood with my heels against the wall, bent at the waist to touch my toes and the force of my ass hitting the wall caused me to fall on my face.

So, I designed a vitual wall and a virtual me. I programed the virtual me to stand against the virtual wall and touch my virtual toes.

So, yes, yes I can.

It’s impossible for a non deformed person to do this. It’s a matter of your center of gravity. No I didn’t fall for it.

Thank you for participating.

You may have noticed the OP was made on April Fool’s Day local time here.

I kind of like the idea that some people who tried, but didn’t reply, can have a good laugh about falling flat on their faces.

I fell for that.

sigh

Ha ha. Very funny.

Okay, so when I tried this I had the forethought to do it in a hallway. Propped up by my head leaning on the oppisite wall, I had no problem touching my toes. Joke’s on me, but the guy watching was pretty impressed. Har Har
