The weight and height of an individual are two important determinants of the physical built of a person. Some of us struggle to increase our height. We know that our height increases till a certain age and then stabilizes. In that time period, we put in a lot of effort to achieve our desired height. In this blog, Rubina Ratnakar suggests some exercises to increase height.
It is assumed that our height grows till the age of 18 and then stops. It is possible to increase our height even in the mid-twenties. All you need is the right amount of determination and hard work.
Starting with the exercises that can help you in increasing height, hanging your body is a great way. When you hang your body with the help of your hands, your muscles stretch and grow ultimately. Hanging for 45 seconds on a bar twice a day will help you in increasing your height.
Hopping on one leg is an exercise to strengthen your muscles and charge your lower body as well. Hope on your left leg for ten times with your hands in the air and then on your right leg in the same way.
Side stretch is another exercise that will help your muscles to grow and elongate them as well. You will feel your muscles being pulled and stretched. You can learn a number of stretching positions as they have a number of benefits as well.
If you are looking for gaining height in a faster way, mix the exercises with jogging. It is an effective way of growing your bones in length.
Skipping with a rope or simply jumping helps your legs in growing long. This is a blend of fun and fitness.
