Perhaps one of the oldest obsessions mankind has besides losing weight is growing taller. People who want to get taller will go to any lengths to achieve being it. Some would go through any kind of experimental treatments or operations that even remotely sounds promising in giving an extra two inches or more to their height.
There are natural ways to increase your height growth and get taller. The fact still remains that a human being reaches a certain point in his life when he or she stops growing and no growth supplements, therapy or operation can alter that. But one should not lose hope.
A few exercise routine along with certain stretches can enhance your growth. Not only can it make you grow taller but it can make you stronger as well.
Here are some simple height increasing stretches that you can do:
* Cat Stretch- Get on your hands and knees with your back arched. Then with your head tilted dip your back downward and hold that position for at least 5-10 seconds.
* Super Snake Stretch- Have your back on the floor with your arms at your side. Curl your back like a reverse arch and tuck in your chin. Then arch your back lifting your hips still keeping your chin tucked in. Hold yourself in that position for as long as you can or for about 10-20 seconds. Do about five repetition.
* Hamstring Stretch- Sit on the floor or mat with your legs spread far apart. Lean forward and try to touch the tip of your toes without bending your knees. Then lean on each leg separately and repeat. Your breathing is very important when it comes to exercising and stretching. So breath out when you are reaching forward to touch your toes.
* Sprints- Can be done indoors or outdoors and are just quick runs. * Kicking- Kick your legs up as high as you can while you are standing.
* Cycling- Try to do an hour a day either on stationary bicycle or on a regular bicycle around your neighborhood.
* Jumping Jacks- Do 100 jumping jacks for an hour or do two 50 jumping jacks for 30 minutes each.
* Jumping Rope- Jump rope for 30 minutes daily.
* Pull Up Bars- Pull yourself up until your chin touches the top of the bar and hold that position for at least 10 seconds. Do not hang your chin on the bar, it is completely unnecessary and potentially dangerous.
Come up with a daily routine and give yourself a few minutes everyday. These stretches to increase height are very easy to do and can be done in a short time.
