3 Stretching Exercises To Grow Taller

If you’ve ever been called “shorty”, or felt inadequate before the girl of your dreams, then there are a few exercises you can do to push your height a bit northwards. These exercises are very simple and can be done right at home. Of course, this is not by any means a comprehensive guide as this subject is vast and only a step-by-step height increase program can help you really gain height, but this article should serve as a good introduction to grow taller exercises, particularly stretching exercises.

When you stretch your bones, tiny micro-fractures are created in the bones. Just as new bone tissue is made to fill in the gaps when you break your bone, these micro-fractures get filled up with bone tissue. Over time, through enough stretching (along with several other, more detailed/complex exercises), these micro-fractures will add up, helping you grow taller.

1. A very common stretching exercise is “hanging”. You might’ve done it, or seen someone do it at some point of time or the other. It simply involves hanging vertically from a horizontal bar while keeping your body stretched and above the ground. This is actually more difficult than it appears and your arms will soon grow tired after a few minutes. Do it for about 30 minutes per week, hanging for a few minutes at a time. Gradually increase the duration to 15 minutes a day, or 1:45 minutes per week.

2. Another common stretching exercise is “upside down hanging”. Instead of hanging vertically from a horizontal bar, you hand upside down, using your legs. For obvious reasons, this exercise is much more difficult than simple hanging and can take some getting used to, especially if you haven’t been active in a long time. This exercise, unlike the previous hanging exercise which puts stress on the arms and spinal column, impacts your leg bones and helps them to grow taller. Perform this hanging exercise for at least 5 minutes daily, holding on for only a minute at a time. For the purpose of safety, have a spotter or a friend nearby. Don’t do it for extended periods of time as the sudden rush of blood to the head can lead to blackouts.

3. A variation of the “hanging” exercise involves hanging on a horizontal bar and slowly pulling your knees towards your chest. This impacts your lower spine and helps with growth in the lower back region. It is also a great exercise for working out your lower abs and building the muscles in that region.
