Yoga Stretch - Height Increase Exercise
If you are one of those people who is worried by your size and always looking for a way to increase your height help is finally here!
One of the most effective means to increase your height is through a carefully carried out height increase exercises program which is designed to strengthen core muscles, improve posture and also encourage your body to increase the levels of growth hormone it releases in to your blood stream.
It is a well proven fact that exercises of high intensity such as anaerobic activities like cycling, sprinting or swimming can have a huge impact on your body’s production of growth hormones.
Another significantly better grow taller exercise for you to carry out which will also produce results is stretching and this is what we are going to focus on in this article.
The primary aim of a stretching program is to mimic the conditions that are seen in other resistance based exercises such as weight lifting and resistance training. The effect of this is stronger back and abdominal muscles.
Why is this a positive thing?
Well quite simply put stronger muscles reduce the compression of invertebral discs. This has the effect of thickening cartilage in your spinal column thereby lengthening the spinal column and increasing your height naturally.
A good program should include a variety of exercises that will move your body through a full range of motion. This helps your body become more flexible and makes the bone and cartilage more receptive to growth.
This article will provide you with the basics of three stretching exercises to increase height that will strengthen and lengthen your body. These following three grow taller exercises are very effective and should be an important part of your exercise program.
Hanging – One of the biggest obstacles to growing taller is gravity. You spend most of your day in an upright, vertical position. All day long gravity compresses your spine and joints, which squeezes and thins the cartilage and makes you shorter.
Girl Hanging - Height Increase Exercise
However, it is easy to counteract this affect through a simple hanging exercise because it lets the weight of your lower torso stretch your spine and reduce the tension between your vertebrae.
In fact, hanging has been known to increase a person’s height by one to two inches.
You will want to have a horizontal bar that is high enough so that your body can fully extend. If your body cannot fully extend, then bend your knees slightly until you hang freely.
When you grasp the bar, make sure your palms are facing away from you and your thumbs are almost touching.
While you are hanging, try to keep your arms, shoulders, and hips are relaxed as possible. This helps gravity pull on your body even further. Try to hang for at least 20 seconds and repeat the process when you are able to grip the bar again.
You should also repeat this exercise a minimum of three times. Also, if you wear ankle weights while hanging you will get an increased benefit.
Dry Land Swim – Also known as the Alternate Leg Kick, this exercise focuses on your lower back. You will want to start this exercise by laying down flat on your stomach with your body fully extended.
Alternate Leg Kick - Height Increase Exercise
Put your arms straight out in front of you with your palms toward the floor. Raise your left arm higher than your right arm. Then, keep your legs straight and lift your right leg off the ground as far as you can.
Try to hold that position for at least 4 seconds before gently lowering your leg and raising the other leg. Your goal should be to work up to holding the position for 20 seconds. Also, adding wrist and ankle weights to your workout will increase resistance and tone your lower back muscles even more.
Pelvic Shift – This exercise is a favourite of fitness instructors all over. It is simple, but you will quickly feel the stretching that occurs up and down your spine and in your hips.
Pelvic Shift - Height Increase Exercise
You will want to begin the exercise by lying on your back with your shoulders and arms planted firmly on the floor. Bend your knees and draw your feet as close to your buttock as you can. Next, arch your back so that your pelvis thrusts upward.
Hold this position for at least 20 seconds and try to work up to holding it for 30 seconds. As you repeat this move, you should feel more and more stretching in your front hips.
