Yoga and Pilates are full of amazing poses and exercises that help in improving posture, aligning the spine right and stretching the back to achieve better height along with innumerable other benefits like balance and concentration.
Given below are 5 of these wonderful exercises for height growth that work on the thoracic and cervical spine, neck, hamstrings, hips and calves.
Good Morning Stretch: Stand 2 feet from a wall, facing away. Raise your arms, stretch completely and bend backwards to touch your fingers to the wall. Repeat this stretch 7 times. Slowly increase the distance from the wall each time you do this exercise.
Forward Bend: Stand with feet wide apart. Raise your arms up and clasp your hands together. Bend forward slowly and touch the floor. Return slowly and repeat 10 times. As you improve in flexibility and strength, reduce the distance between your feet to make it more difficult.
90 Degree Forward Bend: Stand with feet hip-width apart and hands behind the neck with fingers interlocked. Bend forward at the waist and go down as far as possible without rounding the back or bending your knees. Return and repeat 5 times.
Warrior Pose: Stand with legs 4-5 feet apart. Turn the left foot completely towards the left and right foot 45 degrees to the left. Bend your left knee until it is directly above your ankle. Now raise your arms up and slowly bring them down to shoulder level. Balance for 4-5 breaths and reverse positions.
Spine Lengthener: Stand with feet together and arms by the sides. Now in a continuous motion, sway up your arms straight into the sky, stretch your neck backwards and look up, stand on your toes, and stretch each part of your body. Breathe easy for a few seconds, and repeat the procedure 10 times. Perform this exercise at the conclusion of all how to become taller exercises.
The best way to maximize your height growth is to perform these stretching exercises after an intense aerobic session. Intense aerobic exercises boost levels of growth hormones and create micro-fractures in the bones. These micro-fractures can be extended by stretching exercises in the end.
