I can a-a-a-l-l-m-o-s-t touch 'em

The first on my list might have some scratching their heads (and maybe laughing), but I have never, ever been able to just bend down at the waist and touch my toes without bending my knees. I know some people could care less, but I have always wanted to be flexible enough to just do that one simple exercise. 2 weeks ago I started stretching twice a day, and I mean "til it hurts and hold it" kind of stretches, but it was not until I did some research on resistance stretching that I started to see some results. Last week I was able to touch 'em for the first time, but I am not checking this one off until I can do it comfortably at any time.
