How can I make myself shorter?

Hi!

I read online that if I started doing squatting and lunging exercises it might be possible to get a little bit shorter? I was planning on giving this a try! Can anyone recommend how many of each I should do each day to get shorter? Also, is there anything else I can do e.g. avoid some foods/drinks, other exercises, to get smaller? It's not a massive deal if I can't get any smaller, but I thought I might as well give it a go. Any ideas would be helpful. I am female if that helps :smile:

Thank you for your help!x

Put yourself through the washing machine and dryer and maybe you'll shrink.

No reason and probably no way. At best you'd probably be damaging your back. of course squats are worth having a go at for other benefits! But to get shorter you'll just have to wait for middle age. (:
Give me some of your height!

I try, I'm a bit of a geek tbh but I like that :smile:x
I would love to be taller! Tall people pull off clothes so much better!
You can get surgery to shorten your legs.
You're mad. I wish I was atleast 5'5, and there you are at 5'8 wishing you were shorter :redface: I would love to be as tall as you
