10 Top Exercises To Increase Your Height by excell12go(m): 8:00pm On Jan 18, 2015
Height is something that many people strive for and it can be helpful
to get around your day. If you want to get a little taller but think you
are stuck with your current height, you may be wrong. With just a few
simple exercises you could increase your height and start reaching
for the stars.

1) Swimming
Swimming is an exercise that requires plenty of stretching and
reaching, which can gradually increase your height. However you will
need to swim often and for long periods in order to see significant
results. You should try and plan for two hours daily if you want to
increase your height.

2) Hanging Exercises
These exercises are just what they sound like. You will need to hang
down from a bar and let your body stretch. You can also hang and
then bring your legs up parallel to the ceiling to create and even
better stretch. You will want to keep this up for several repetitions
and several times a week.

3) Touch Toes
It’s time to go back to these treasured years of gym class and touch
your toes. If you can’t touch your toes, you’re not alone and just
stretch as far as you can. If you missed gym class you perform this
exercise by standing straight and then bending down to touch your
toes. You should hold the stretch for a few seconds each time.


4) Cobra Stretch
This stretch is all about stretching out your spine and elongating the
body. The more you do this stretch the more you will open up your
back and increase your height. To perform this stretch you should lie
on the face down and palms under your shoulders. Then arch your
back by raising your chin to form an angle.

5) Pelvic Shift
This exercise targets the spine and lower hips and is considered one
of the most effective exercises for increasing height. To perform this
lay flat on your back with your palms out to the sides. Keep your
legs bent and slowly push your pelvis upward. Hold the pose for 20
to 30 seconds. Repeat this several times for best results.

6) Leg Stretches
There are a number of different types of stretches for legs and any
stretches that work the calves will be very useful in increasing
height. One good calf exercise is to stand parallel to a wall and
place your hands on the wall. Put your weight on your hands and
then slowly move one leg closer to the wall. You should feel a
stretch in your calf. Hold the position for 20 to 30 seconds and
repeat it a few times.


7) The Table
For this exercise you are going to put your body into the shape of a
table. While it sounds easy enough this is actually a difficult stretch
that will work wonders for increasing height. Start by sitting on the
floor with your legs stretched out. Then place your palms on the
floor with your hands facing toward your feet. Next place your feet
flat on the floor and push your torso upward until your body
resembles a table.

cool Jump Rope
Jump rope is not only a school yard activity and a great way to
remember songs, it is also a great exercise for stretching out the
body, especially the lower legs. You will build up these muscles and
stretch them out throughout the jumping motion. The more often you
jump rope the sooner you will start to see results.

9) Two Legs Straight Up
For this exercise you will need to lay flat on your back. Place your
palms flat on the floor at your side. Then try and raise your legs
toward the ceiling at the same time. Do the motion slowly and
stretch your legs up until your pelvis slightly lifts off the ground. This
is a great stretch for your legs and lower back. It is also a difficult
stretch so it may take some practice.


10) Cat and Dog
These stretches will bring out the animal in you and have the ability
to stretch your body an inch or two as well. Start on your hands and
knees. Arch your back upward and lift while keeping your ads tight.
Hold this position for a few seconds and then breathe out as you
push your tailbone under. Hold this position and then repeat the
stretch.
