The Maths Behind Growing Taller...

I thought this would be an interesting thing for you to read.....


The spinal exercises can be performed by anyone young or old as it never fuses together, 33% of your height comes from your spine which consists of 33 separate bone segments known as vertebrae held together by ligaments (tough and fibrous tissue). Out of these 33 vertebrae, only the lowest 9 are fused into two immovable bones, the sacrum and the coccyx, forming the back of the pelvis. All the other 24 vertebrae are permanently movable and thus will never be fused. These 24 vertebrae are the 7 cervical (neck), 12 thoracic (back of chest), and 5 lumbar (loin).
Located between each of these 24 vertebrae are cartilaginous pads called disks . The thickness of the disks determines the length of the spinal column and directly influences the height. There are totally 25 disks, their combined length accounts 25% of your total height. Since these disks are non-fusible cartilages, they can constantly grow thicker under the stimulation of growth hormone during a life time which explains why elderly people start to shrink due to Osteoporosis. The thicker those disks are, the longer your spinal column is and the talleryou become. Even if each disk grows only 0.25 cm (0.1 inch) thicker, which is the length of this line in quotes “_”, you will grow taller by 0.25 * 25 = 6.25 cm (2.5 inches).

Stunted Growth - Weight Training Myth

You may have heard that if you want to grow taller you should avoid weight training since it can hinder your growth. WRONG!


Weight training can in fact help you grow taller, when you lift weights the bone actually rebuilds and become stronger than it was before! This helps increase bone development and also prevent osteoporosis.


With weight training if you are young and lift too heavy of a weight you are only going to injure yourself so make sure that you lift weights that are up to your standards and increase it as you start to get stronger.


Of course with weight training you have to have a diet so make sure you tailor it to not only your body building needs but also to your growing taller needs too!


STRETCHES!


When you work out you need a good warm up and cool down and what better way than to throw in stretches to grow taller?! This way you can strengthen your bones and stretch them at the same time too!

One of the top ways to get taller is to improve you posture. For those of you that don't know your posture (spine) accounts for a HUGE 35% of your height and you want to get every extra inch possible out of that by straightening out your spine and posture.


Improving your posture will take time as you are in a habit of putting it in a bad position but you can make small and quick fixes to help you stick to it...


  1. Before falling asleep lie flat on your back with your legs straight and avoid curling up into your favourite position 
  2. When you are sitting down sit with a straight back. If you are sitting for extended period of time simply put a pillow on the back support to make it more comfortable
  3. When walking avoid carrying items in your bag that you don't need to reduce the weight
  4. Keep your shoulders back when walking to keep your posture straight
  5. If you can use machinery to pick up heavy objects at work or if you have to make sure you learn the proper technique
These quick fixes will help you improve your posture which will help you gain those few inches of extra height.

Growing Taller Exercises - Sweating your way up the height ladder

One of the target areas to work on to grow taller quickly is the shins. the shins are potential areas for growth and the best way to do this is through growing taller exercises. These aren't just any exercises that you can perform, these are exercises that are designed to lengthen and strengthen your shin and increase your height but they have to be followed in the correct manner.


How do they work?
The science behind leg lengthening is that when you exercise the shins what you are doing is putting pressure on the shin bone and creating micro-fractures. When you rest the body works on repairing these fractures and to prevent it from happening again the body makes the bone stronger (and LONGER)! So make sure that you have enough rest and create a good enough diet to help your body create enough HGH to repair your bones!


  • Jumping
The method for jumping isn't just jumping on one spot but instead it is jumping from a flat object (the ground) to something higher (normally a step or a box). You may find this difficult to maintain for long periods of time but as time progresses you will start to increase your stamina.
  • Sprinting
Sprinting is another great exercise to help you grow taller. The process of sprinting for height consists of sprinting for 60 yards at a high intensity (try not to jog!) and then resting and then doing this for 5-10 times. DO NOT overdo sprinting as it can lead to injury so make sure you rest 3 times a week!
  • Cycling
One of the growing taller exercises people tend to enjoy more is cycling. Cycling is an enjoyable hobby and sport and a great way to keep fit. To tailor cycling for height all you need to do is raise the seat by about four inches before you set off. A stationary bike is preferred but if you have a free-moving bike that will work as well.


These exercises are great for growing taller steadily however to really see the results you will need to use a height increase program that you can follow daily. Check out GrowingTallerForIdiots for a step-by-step idiot proof way to grow taller naturally ("The Height Stuff") and is GUARANTEED to have you up to 6 inches taller!
