Can exercising make you permanently taller? i'm 37. i'm doing zumba sev. times a week & now feel like i'm a few inches taller. posture hasn't changed.

No: In real life, that does not happen. There might be some internet stories about events like that, but that doesn't happen to normal, real people. To look or seem taller, an adult may improve her posture, clothes, shoes, gracefulness, confidence, etc...
