Workouts That Make You Grow Taller: Does It Actually Work?

By G. Tan


Would you like to grow a few inches taller naturally? Unless you're 6' 6", anyone would certainly like to gain a few inches to their height. Then it is time to involve yourself in some workouts to grow taller. These physical exercises are not some mystical yoga magic but exercises based upon sound logical and scientific methods.

Do workouts to grow taller actually work?

Yes they do! Incredible, questionable, and borderline ludicrous to believe that somebody past adolescence can grow taller.

1) Stretching

Stretching is among the most basic exercises to grow taller. This method may look like common sense and it is. Not only does stretching relieve stiff joints and tight muscular tissues, it will help you improve your physical performance, posture and help you increase height. Stretches include: bow down stretching, stretching while standing, wall-assisted stretches, toe touches, standing twists, car stretch, cobra stretch, the bridge, the table, super stretch, and more.

2) Hanging

Hanging will help you grow taller by stretching out your spinal column and joints. When you get up in the morning, you are always a little taller compared to late in the afternoon because your spinal column has been extended while asleep. As you function throughout the day, gravitational force compresses it back down. Hanging will help maintain the extended state of the spine to ensure that it compresses less as the day passes.

There are 2 principal methods to approach hanging. The easiest and most efficient method is to utilize a chin up bar and dead hang from it. Ideally, you'd want to do 10 ~ 15 sets of 15 ~ 20 seconds each for at least 30 mins a week. Twisting from side to side and lateral leg raises will also help, but avoid swinging your body.

The 2nd method is to purchase an inversion table, strap your ankles down, and hang upside-down. This is much more effective than the chin up bar but will be a lot more inconvenient.

3) Yoga

Because it helps with pose and will make you stand up straighter, yoga is a fantastic way to instantly gain height. The stretches and poses inherent in yoga are also a few of the key techniques to growing taller. Several of the more important ones are: mountain poses, downward facing dog, simple supported back-bends, and simple reclining twists.

According to yoga teachers, if you do yoga 2 to 3 times a week for a year, you will increase up to an inch in height.

4) Swimming and other sports

Ever observe how athletes are just taller compared to non-athletes? This could be due to the fact that taller people gravitate to and excel at certain sports. It is also true that playing certain sports from when you are young will help you grow taller compared to if you did not play sports. That is since sports include all the stretching, physical exercises, and nutrition required for ideal growth.

Out of all the sports, swimming is among the best to be taller. This is because water negates the gravitational compression of the spinal column and also since having your head below your heart sends much better blood flow to the thyroid glands which helps in the production of growth hormones. Especially, the breast stroke motion stretches the body in an ideal way to gain height. This is since you kick with your legs and stretch out with your arms at the same time in opposite directions.

Exercise not only makes you fitter, stronger, and stretches your muscles and skeletal system, but it even stimulates your pituitary glands to produce more HGH. It is widely acknowledged that exercise promotes the natural production of HGH but nobody knows why. Just know that it is true and let's go do some yoga!
