We cannot dispute the fact that there are some individuals willing to do anything to grow taller than they are. Also, many of us understand how much effect the height of a person can be to his/her personality.
Naturally, the height of a person is determined by different factors, of which a larger percentage is from genetic factors. Other factors could be physical, like diet and exercise. Also, growth is bound to stop at a particular age; making the bones fuse and refusing to grow any further.
You are probably desperate on increasing your height by any means. Interestingly, with some exercise accompanied with the right diet, you are on your way to an increment in height, despite the factors hindering it.
1. Pelvic shift
Pelvic shift is a very simple exercise that helps effectively in stretching the body fully from the spine and hip, and also makes the front hip flexible. Start off by lying on your back, with your shoulders and arms firmly on the floor. Then, bend your knees and pull your feet closer to your buttocks till you no longer can. With arms still on the floor, arch your back with pelvis raised. Remain in this position for some seconds.
2. Hopping with one leg
This exercise can be done anywhere, and saves you a lot of time because you can do it alongside other things, like watching the TV, playing in the park, talking with a friend, etc. Assume a standing position, with hands raised. Then, you’ll have to decide which leg you want to begin with.
