How To Grow Taller Tips And Exercises By Jeff I Anderson

Not as tall as you'd like to be? Would you like to know how to increase your height by a few inches??

If you answered yes then read on, because theses exercises will help you quickly gain height naturally!

By stretching and exercising you encourage your body to grow by "fooling" it into believing it is in a growth phase. Growth in humans occurs due to a hormone secreted by your pituitary gland in your brain known as Human Growth Hormone. As a result of exercise and stretching, your body is forced to release the natural Human Growth Hormone throughout your body and this can trigger an explosive boost in height!

Some very helpful and proven exercises for height gain include:

* Weight-resistant snap kicking: as the name suggests, weight-resistance snap kicking involves having small weights (5 lbs and under when you first begin or you may cause injury to yourself or others) strapped to your ankles, and performing sets of kicks wherein you extend your legs and flick your ankles out at the end. This can help to stretch muscle tissue and cause it to heal in a longer form. You must be very careful when using ankle weights however; if you have brittle bones, stiff or loose joints or you have suffered a knee or ankle injury in the past, make sure you consult a doctor before trying this method out.

* Field kicking: field kicking refers to doing a large kick-like motion by swinging your entire leg up from your hip, keeping your leg rigid. Ensure you do some calf and hamstring stretches before and after this exercise.

* Cycling: try cycling with an elevated seat, as this will force your legs to stretch further, hence stretching your muscles and joints. Cycling can be performed on either a standard bicycle or on an exercise bike at home. If you opt for the outdoor option, make sure that you can reach the pedals; don't set the seat at a level that is uncomfortable or you may find it difficult to control the bike which could easily result in an injury to yourself or another person.

* Swimming: swimming is a fantastic exercise, whether or not you are doing it for height-gain. It relaxes and stretches the joints and allows optimum mobility and weightlessness. Swimming requires you to use your whole body, thus strengthening and stretching every limb.

If you start performing some of the exercises that I've just shared with you on a regular basis, you'll finally be able to grow taller and get closer to your dream height.
