Mary Lou Retton, Kerri Strug? Amateurs!

Here is how flexible I am. This afternoon I had my back pretty much flat against the closed toilet lid. My legs were splayed out in front of me, my sock-covered feet reaching the tiled floor beyond the throw rug in front of the toilet. My two arms held me in this position, hands locked around two grab bars.

I honestly don't think it is getting harder to get up off the floor. I had no problem during an early fall last week. I have just had two times where it was a real struggle; both times I was sweaty and out-of-breath when I regained my seat.

Is this what they mean by floor exercises?
