There are many possibilities when it comes to increasing your height naturally, and one of the best methods of doing so is through exercising. By repeatedly targeting the muscles in key areas, namely the back, these muscles will gradually strengthen, which in the case of your back causes your spinal column to lengthen by easing the compression of the invertebral discs. There are plenty of different exercises, of varying effectiveness and difficulty, that can be used to target these key areas, and we'll examine three of them below. Trunk Twist - This exercise can be fun to perform, and gives your spine a great workout, putting it through a full range of motion, horizontally and vertically. It also targets the abs in one fell swoop as well, so you can kill two ailing birds with one stone. Sit on the floor and keep your feet anchored beneath something to help prevent movement while performing this. For safety's sake, ensure the object your anchoring your feet with can bear the amount of force you'll be exerting on it and won't topple over onto you. Rather than performing a combination of sit-up and twist, you'll solely be twisting in this exercise. With your hands locked behind your head, raise yourself off the ground to a comfortable position, not too high or low, and slowly swing your body as far to each side as you can. Repeat this at least 5 times, performing the routine for 30 seconds each time. Roll Over Stretch - This exercise will focus mainly on your lower back, greatly increasing flexibility and easing compression of the vertebral discs in your spine. This requires some level of flexibility to perform, and may not be possible for older or larger people. Lie down on your back, and from here, with the help of your shoulders, lift your legs up and over your body, bringing your feet down behind your head. Keep your shoulders as flat as possible during this, and hold for 20-30 seconds. Wall Bridge - Find a position approximately two feet from a wall and stand with your back to it. You'll need to test this out once or twice to get a good feel for the necessary distance. Now reach your hands up into the air and behind your head, all the way back until theyre touching the wall, with your back still to the wall. Now slowly use this leverage with the wall to walk down the wall with your hands, as far as you can go. Once you've reached your limit, climb slowly back up the wall with your hands, and then push off near the top to get back to a standing position. This is a tremendous workout for flexibility of the back. These three exercises of varied difficulty all help target the lower back, where spinal disc compression through years of gravity weighing down on your body have caused you to effectively be shorter than you could otherwise be. These routines will help counter those effects for increased height. More Information Want to learn more?
