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.

(01) 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.

(02) 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.

03Touch 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.

(04) 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.

(05)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.

(06) 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.

(07) 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.

(08) 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.

(09) Spot Jump

Jumping is an exercise that really stretches out the
cartilage in the body, especially the legs. Repetition of
vertical jumps or squat jumps can stretch out the
cartilage so that the body gradually becomes taller.
You can either do this as an individual exercise at
home or you can play basketball in order to get
plenty of vertical jumps into your workout routine.

(10) Dry Swim or Alternate Kick
.
.
This is a great way to get the stretching benefits of
swimming even if you don’t have regular access to a
pool. In order to complete this exercise you will need
to lay on your stomach. Stretch your arms out in
front of you with your right arm slightly higher than
your left. Then with your legs stretched out raise your
left leg up. Hold the position for several seconds
before switching your arm and leg.

(11) Head/Neck stretch
.
.
This is an easy and very good stretch for increasing
height and reducing stress. Just stand upright and
place your hands behind your head. Next bend your
head upwards and back as far as you can. You should
do this stretch slowly and hold each position for a
few seconds. This will help stretch out your next and
spine.

(12) 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.

(13) Forward Spine Stretch
.
.
This stretch is all about your back and calves. Sit on
the floor with your legs stretched out in front of you.
Now reach forward and try to touch your toes by
arching your back. This is another way to stretch
many of the same muscles in the toe touch and you
should hold the position for several seconds.

(14) Pilates Roll Over
.
.
This may be a difficult move to master but it is well
worth the effort. Lay on your back with your arms at
your sides. Lift your legs together toward the ceiling
just like the two leg lift. Next try and bring your legs
back to touch the floor behind your head. There are
few stretches that stretch your back out so
completely. This works to strengthen and elongate
the spine so doing this stretch every day will have
great results for your height.

(15) 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 tail bone under. Hold this position and then repeat the stretch.
