Stretches to Grow Taller
My dad was 5′6″ about 5 years ago and now he is 5′”2 at best. He has shrunk 4 inches over the past 5 years and this could have been prevented if he had just done a few simple stretches to grow taller.
Some people may not be able to grow much taller, but most people have at least 1 inch extra in height that they have lost from years of standing and slouching.
Laying on a flat service can do wonders for your height and posture. How long do you sit in front of a computer or work where you are bent over and causing your back to slouch? We can’t all afford chiropractors but we can afford to spend some time doing stretches and exercises to grow taller and prevent shrinking.
Laying of the floor for 1 minute will help you straighten out a little bit but you need to strengthen the back muscles to correct your posture. Lay on your back and tuck in a ball roll back and forward to stretch out the back.
The lay on your stomach with hand above your head for one minute. Now you will do some back exercises from this position. You will raise your left arm and right leg and hold them elevated for 2 seconds and then switch to your other leg and arm. Do this 12 times before going back to rolling on your back. Go through each of these 4 times.
Then you will lay on your stomach and put your hands shoulder width apart and push up while keeping your thighs touching the ground. This will stretch your back and abdomen. From that position you will sit back on your feet with your arms fully extended on the floor in front of you. Go back and forth between these 2 positions 4 times.
Now you will need to find somewhere that you can hand from. Grab a bar above your head and hang. While hanging you look down until your chin touches your chest, this will stretch the back really well. As soon as you let go of the bar, bend over and touch your toes. Go back forward between these two stretches at least 4 times.
All of these stretches will take less than 15 minutes and will keep your from shrinking and can even give you an extra inch or two.
