Stretches to Make You Grow Taller


Mon, 30th November, 2009 - Posted by Ellen Roberts


Perhaps one of the oldest obsessions mankind has besides losing weight is growing taller. People who want to get taller will go to any lengths to achieve being it. Some would go through any kind of experimental treatments or operations that even remotely sounds promising in giving an extra two inches or more to their height.

The fact still remains that a human being reaches a certain point in his life when he or she stops growing. No growth supplements, therapy or operation can alter that. However, one should not lose hope. There are natural ways to increase your body height and get taller.

To enhance your height growth, a few exercise routine along with certain stretches can not only make you taller, but stronger as well.

Here are some simple height increasing stretches that you can do:

* Cat Stretch- Get on your hands and knees with your back arched. Then with your head tilted dip your back downward and hold that position for at least 5-10 seconds.

* Super Snake Stretch- Lay on your back with your arms at our side and arch your back downward with your chin tucked in your chest. Then arch your back upward lifting your hips up still keeping your chin tucked in your chest. Hold yourself in that position for as long as you can or for 10-20 seconds. Do about five repetition.

* Hamstring Stretch- You need to sit on the floor or mat and spread your legs wide apart. Then try to reach the tip of your toes with both hands without bending your knees. Then try to do each leg separately. Breathing is key to stretching. Make sure you are breathing out when your are lean forward stretching.

* Sprints- Do quick runs either indoors or outdoors. * Kicking- While your standing kick your legs up as high as you can.

* Cycling- A regular bicycle or a stationary bike can be used and do about an hour every day.

* Jumping Jacks- Do at least 100 jumping jacks for an hour or 50 jumping jacks in 30 minutes.

* Jumping Rope- Jump rope for 30 minutes daily.

* Pull Up Bars- Pull yourself up until your chin touches the top of the bar and hold that position for at least 10 seconds. Do not hang your chin on the bar, it is completely unnecessary and potentially dangerous.

Give yourself a few minutes everyday for a daily routine. These height advancing stretches are easy to do and can be done in a short period of time.
