here are some more tips i found this mini guide on how to gain height on my computer so i'll share some tips with you :)
First of All You Need A Combination of All these 3 things:
1. Proper Nutrition
2.Excercise
3.Sufficent Sleep
A way to get a good amount of sleep(its kind of to me too,i guess cuz im not used to it) is Waking up at 6,eating lunch at 10,Dinner at 6 and then Sleep at 10.
Excercises that will help are :
1.Hanging(find a park near your area and hang from the monkey bars for 20 seconds and repeat 3 times)
2.Dry Land Swim
This also known as the alternate leg kick,you start this excercise by laying down flat on your stomach with your body fully extended.Put your arms straight out in front of you with your palms toward the floor.Raise your left arm higher then your right arm.Then keep your legs straight and lift your right leg off the ground as far as you can.
3.Pelvic Shift
I did this in my dance class this also a yoga pose and its actually very simple,you just lay on your back on the floor with your shoulders and arms planted on the floor,bend your knees and draw your feet as close to your butt as you can.Next arch your back so that your pelvis thrusts upward(basically just lift your pelvis up still keeping your shoulder and arms planted on the floor and knees bent) hold this position for at least 20 seconds,and if you can later on 30 or 40 and just keep increasing if you find that its too easy.
4.Sukhasana
The most famous yoga move,you may think that this will make no difference but it helps you breathe better making it easier to be able to tone your muscles.What you do is sit cross-legged position,hands resting on your knees.Keep your spine perfectly aligned and push your buttock to the floor and gently lower your knees.Take at least 5 deep breaths and then inhale as you raise your arms up and over your head bring your arms down gently and steadily,exhaling as you do,and then repeat this entire move 5 to 7 times more.
5.Triangle
This is also a yoga pose and it's pretty difficult i must say lol(it burns alot) but this is a good excercise for getting taller and toning your body as well.It helps improve balance and therefore leads to good posture which leads to looking taller :) so start to stand up with your legs about 3 to 4 feet apart,and your feet parallel to one another. Then, rotate your left foot 90 degrees to the left and your right foot 45 degrees inward. Inhale and raise your arms to the side so that they are level and parallel to the floor.
Exhale and turn your head to face down the length of your left arm and check that your left knee is lined up with your left ankle. Take one deep breath and then stretch towards your left ankle while you tilt your left hip down.Once you have reached your maximum stretch, rotate your arms so that your left hand can now
rest against the inside of your calf and your right arm points towards the ceiling.Turn your head so that you are looking in the direction of your right arm and take several deep
breaths. Then, inhale and straighten your body followed by an exhale as you lower your arms to your hips.Pivot on your heels and face forward once more. Then, repeat this movement on the right side of your body.
6.Dog and Cat
I've personally never tried this one but i will this weekend,this one is a good excercise because it extends your spine fully in two different directions.
You will begin the exercise on your hands and knees with your hands slightly ahead of your shoulders and knees hip width apart. Inhale and tilt your pelvis up and curve your spine so that your stomach drops towards the ground and your head is up.Fully stretch your body, but gently, and then move into the cat position by reversing the curve of your spine.You should finish with your pelvis down and chest and stomach in. Move your body through this movement fluidly, repeating the full cycle many times.
7. Standing Forward Bend
This is a very simple, but effective, exercise. It is a great way to relax and decompress your spine. Also, it stretches your calves,hamstrings, hips, neck, and all of your back support.To begin this exercise, stand with your feet approximately 18 inches apart and your palms on the back of your thighs. Then slide your hands down along the side of your legs without bending your knees.Try to slide as far as possible, as you bend over make sure your hands stay firmly on your legs. As you bend you will find the resistance increase in your knees, but do not bend them.
Another variation is to slowly run your palms down the back of your legs, forcing you to arch backwards.
8.Downward Facing Dog
Omg this one is amazing lol this my favourite yoga pose and you may not feel it but it actually works..Position your elbows so that your inner arm is pointing away from you.Take a deep breath and curl your toes as if you were trying to stand on your toes.Then straighten your legs as you exhale and push your arms upward.Ideally, you want to push so that your spine is lengthening. Make sure your legs stay straight and your feet firmly on the floor.Also i find it easier while doing this pose to keep my head down and look at my stomach.
If you need to bend your legs at first, that is okay. However, you will want to stretch yourself further and further each time until your legs stay straight.
Also, keep your shoulders flat and distribute your weight evenly to add the resistance on your spine. You should remain in that position for several deep breaths and then repeat the entire movement several more times.
9.Head to Knee
Begin this exercise by sitting on the floor with your legs fully extended in front of you. Bend one leg by pulling your heel as close to your body as possible, in a “P” shape, but keeping your buttocks planted on the floor.You should rotate your body so that you
are facing the extended leg and raise your arms over your head while you inhale. Keep your back straight as you bend forward slowly and exhale.Do not bend at your hips, but by rolling forward on your buttocks. Tense your thigh muscles as you bend, this will release the hamstring and promote better flexibility.At the end of your forward momentum, gently lower your arms to grab your foot and pull forward.Then, pull your opposite leg into the “P” shape and extend the leg that was previously bent.Repeat the exercise for the opposite side of your body.Keep your pace slow and breathe deeply throughout the exercise to fully stretch out your spine.
10.Double Forward Bend
Start by sitting on the floor with your legs stretched out in front of you andyour hands on your hips. Stretch your arms out in front of you and bend forward as you try to touch your toes.Although you may not be able to touch your toes at first, doing this stretch regularly will make your body more flexible and you will soon find that you can easily grab your toes.This increased flexibility is a major step to becoming taller . You will want to repeat this move 5 times using both hands. Next, spread your feet apart a few inches and then stretch by alternating one hand at a time, touching your right foot with your left hand and your left foot with your right hand.You should also repeat this stretch with each hand at least 5 times.
11.Backward Bend
Okay this one is a pretty hard one too but its really helpful in stretching your spine and gaining height.To begin this move, find a firm surface and lay flat on your back with your arms extended towards your feet and palms on the floor.
Keep your feet together as you raise your legs over your head. Your goal is to have your toes touch the floor behind your head.Push off the floor with your palms to give you the power to lift your legs over your head and raise your hips off the floor.You should repeat this exercise at least 5 times.
12.The Cobra
Another of my favourites,this another yoga pose and actually very simple also.In the first stage of this exercise, lay on your stomach with your legs together. Your arms should be close to your sides and your hands by your chest.Slowly arch your back so that you head and chest are raised as high as they will go, with your heart and chest
pushed outward. Make sure to keep your buttock muscles tense to protect your lower back.Take several deep breaths and then gently lower yourself back into your starting position.
You should repeat this step as much as you need to prepare for the next stage. In the next stage, do this movement again but when your head reaches its peak height raise yourself up onto your arms which will increase the stretching in your back.You should stretch as far as you can without discomfort,but make sure you keep your pelvis on the floor. Once again, take several deep breaths and then slowly come back down to your starting position before repeating the movement.
13. Leg Raise
Extend your legs up so that they are perpendicular to your body. Then raise your hips about 3 to 5 inches off the ground by pushing up with your lower abs. Your feet should always remain straight while you are lifting.Gently lower your hips back to the starting position and then repeat at least 15 times.
The Last two are fairly easy to do and dont descriptions so i wont waste much time trying to explain to you how those are done.
The last two are Lower Ab Crunch And Side Crunch.
