So I was doing this today going up and down and I think it’s exercise? But no idea what it’s called?

She doesn’t look dressed for exercise….and her posture doesn’t look like she’s doing an exercise.

Can you describe what you were doing more clearly than saying ‘going up and down’? Were you wanting to exercise?

OvernightBloats · 17/04/2026 09:49

Squats? Star jumps?

DoughnutDreamer · 17/04/2026 09:50

Were you intending to do exercise when you were doing this?

moonstarsuns · 17/04/2026 10:06

I was just literally reaching down from the top to the bottom, it’s pretty self explanatory really if u look at the pic. Just wondered was there a name for it?

Toe touches?

didgeridid · 17/04/2026 10:12

Burpees
Star jump down into a press up position and back up again. Hideous things 🤣

WingBingo · 17/04/2026 10:16

Post a series of pictures so we can see the range of movement

Dozycuntlaters · 17/04/2026 10:18

If youre standing with your legs straight and apart and are just reaching down and up, it's a hamstring stretch, not an actual exercise.

moonstarsuns · 17/04/2026 10:19

Yes toe touches. Will this help me lose weight flung lots of these?

It is not obvious and I have no idea what you mean

moonstarsuns · 17/04/2026 10:19

@Dozycuntlaterslegs are straight but NOT apart

Anything that makes you hot and sweaty will help you lose weight. It can be toe touches, dusting the shelves or walking quickly, if you do it for long enough and vigorously enough to make you out of breath.

But the woman's legs in the photo are apart.

Describe in words what you were doing and people will be able to help. Posting a random photo of someone with their legs apart and bending over slightly is not giving anyone a clue.

Attach a 10kg weight to your hands and then it's an exercise

It's still a hamstring stretch, regardless of legs together or apart really, although they are definitely apart in that photo. The flexibility or your hamstrings determine whether you can touch your toes or not.

Bumply · 17/04/2026 10:22

If you were holding a kettlebell or barbell and keeping your legs straight I’d call that deadlifts.

without weights it’s just a hamstring stretch, but if that’s your aim you’d normally do it one leg at a time with the leg being stretched positioned slightly in front and sticking your bum out to increase the stretch

This

I thought OP was describing Romanian deadlift to start but now I'm not sure 🤔

It looks like they are trying to do a standing toe touch. Normally you would have your feet together for this. It's a standard warmup stretch and flexibility exercise.

No, only eating fewer calories will help you lose weight. You will stretch out your calf muscles, but you need to be careful not to strain your lower back if you’re keeping your legs straight and it’s not a manoeuvre you’re used to.

Spaghettea · 17/04/2026 10:24

Is this chatGPT trying to learn about exercise? Confused

I'm sure this is a complete wind up.

asdbaybeeee · 17/04/2026 10:26

Toe touches or roll down. It’s good for stretching but be careful as can bother the lower back if you do it too quickly or not warmed up enough. I’m not sure it would contribute much to weight loss overall

Upsetaboutparents · 17/04/2026 10:31

Hey op, I would recommend getting on you tube and looking for some exercise videos. Fitness blender were always good - something where they clearly explain how to do the exercise.
