Grow Taller by Performing These Free Exercises

There are tons of stretching exercises designed for increasing one’s height. I want to introduce you to some basic stretching exercises that will help you grow taller even after puberty.

First Exercise – Hanging:

This exercise requires a pole from which you can hang down. Basically you need to hold on to the pole, relax completely and just hang. You might want to put some weights around your waist but always be careful not to harm yourself and not to use heavy weights. You can change grips during this exercise until you feel the right “stretch.” If you use a wider grip, you will develop wider shoulders, which look good on males. Try tensing the back muscles to feel the difference. This exercise requires you to find the sweet spot where you feel that your back, arms, legs and body in general are stretching to the maximum. Do this exercises for at least 30 minutes a week. I recommend doing it daily for a couple of minutes. Better to do more frequent but shorter exercises than do it only once but for a long time.

Second Exercise – Bridge:

The bridge can be done in different ways, but it is basically a back stretching exercise. Some flexible people can perform this exercise from a standing position, while others need to lie on their backs first. You put your arms on the floor beside your legs and then lift your pelvis and abs towards the ceiling. Do this if you are not flexible enough to do the full bridge, which is when you put your arms behind your back and lift your body fully with only your legs and hands holding you. You can also do the bridge while lying on your stomach, as well as using your hands to raise your torso and stretch your back while your legs remain on the bottom. Try them out for yourself; you will see which one fits you better.

Third Exercise – Leg Stretch:

You will require a chair for this exercise. It is performed by using the back of the chair as a backrest. Then you have to push your leg backwards while stretching the leg as far as possible without injuring yourself. When done with one leg, do the exercise with the other. You may desire to warm up a bit prior to this exercise, as it is something your body isn’t used to doing, and you might harm yourself if you perform these exercise with full force without warming up.

Consider that for these exercises to work and actually make you grow up taller, you must do them regularly. Aside from adding height, these exercises will help you improve your posture and also make you more flexible.
