Hello All!

This is completely random, but what’s the weirdest name you guys have ever heard an exercise called?

I randomly came up with this question because I do different workouts from different people (FitnessBlender, trainers outside of FitnessBlender) and I am sure that there’s a lot of you guys who do as well. Most of my workouts I do with FitnessBlender. Working out with different trainers, I’m sure that many of us have noticed that many trainers give the same exercise different names. For example, for me I have heard Fire Hydrants, Doggies (From Erica and allow me to say that that’s my favorite name for that exercise that I have heard. It makes me smile every time I hear it. I love dogs.), Kneeling 90s Lifts (Yes, I have heard this.)

I have also heard Burpees/Cherry Pickers/Jump Push-Ups. Yes, these are names that I have heard trainers call Burpees. Why is it called a Burpee? I personally have never questioned it until now, but it’s funny so it works. Cherry Pickers is definitely the most random and weird one I have heard. Believe it or not, back when I was in high school that’s what they were called and maybe they still are. I have no clue. The Jump Push-Ups, I have no idea, I have heard it before and I am still questioning it, haha!

So, again, what’s the weirdest names you guys have heard and what’s your favorite? Also, if you guys could name exercises, what would you name them and why? Or, are you okay with what they’re called already?

I just thought it would be fun to ask this. It’s just something that I have thought about recently and wanted to share.
