That exercise one reminds me of an incident I had in real life. Being overweight at the time (not uncommon in my life) I started going to an aerobics class. At one point we were all sat on the floor and supposed to lean forward, try to touch our toes IIRC. Then the teacher calls out, "Anyone touching the floor with their stomach yet ?". I so wanted but didn't have the nerve to call out, "That's what I came here to stop happening !"
