Fitness Woman demonstrates what a successful Hip Flexor Flexibility Test should look like.

Hip Flexor Flexibility Test


Lay on the floor on your back. Pull your right knee into your chest. Keep your extended leg in contact with the floor.

You pass this test if the back of the knee and the lower back can both be pressed into the floor simultaneously.

(Of course make sure and do both legs)


Calf Flexibility Test

Fitness Woman reminds us that even the small tendons and joints need to be addressed with this calf muscle flexibility test.
Unless you are a runner, your calf muscle may not be something you consider stretching. Ofen, if we don't focus on an activity that focuses on a muschle group, we simply do not consider that muscle group at all.

Out of sight, out of mind.

To test your flexibility in this area, stand against a wall. Raise your toes while keeping both knees straight. You pass if you can elevate the foot at least one inch.

Repeat with other foot.


Shoulder Flexibility Test

Fitness Woman demonstrates a successful Shoulder Flexibility Test.


Reach one arm up and over (as if to scratch an itch on your back.) Bring your other hand around behind your back and attempt to touch your fingers. You pass this test if fingertips can touch. Repeat on other arm.

This is a good way to discover what areas you need improvement in and also a way to gauge your progress. Keep working on your stretches and you will be the flexible Fitness Woman you deserve to be!
