Hypermobility:

Hypermobility (also called double-jointedness, hypermobility syndrome or hyperlaxity) describes joints that stretch farther than is normal. For example, some hypermobile people can bend their thumbs backwards to their wrists, or bend their knee joints backwards. It can affect a single joint or multiple joints throughout the body.

The condition tends to run in families, suggesting that there may be a genetic basis for at least some forms of hypermobility. The term double jointed is often used to describe hypermobility, however the name is a misnomer and is not to be taken literally, as an individual with hypermobility in a joint does not actually have two separate joints where others would have just the one.

Watch the jump rope section.I can do it...(I usually do it to freak my baby cousins out !)

Hypermobility can be dangerous if you are trying to lift heavy weights.(A bone might dislocate while you are lifting something heavy and cause untold damages)

So , I exercise frequently.

I aim to gain muscle mass, so that my musculature can compensate for my loose ligaments.

Now with years of exercise , I have gained enough muscle to lift heavy objects safely.On the other hand , If I was as thin as the guy in the video , I'd be able to do all the stuff he was doing.
No Kidding !
