3 Simple Stretches To Grow Taller Fast !

If you are looking for a way to increase your height and start growing taller, you will be glad to know that stretching can actually help you achieve that feat.

A lot of people wonder if it is still possible to grow taller even after puberty. Well, the main purpose of growing an extra 2 - 3 inch is NOT by increasing your bone size or length, which, in anyway.. is no longer possible less surgery.

The main reason why stretching can help to increase your height is that it strengthens your back muscles and improves your posture. This in turn allows your cartilage at your spine to soak up fluid and thicken.

The thickening of these cartilage will then increase your height and make you taller.

So much for the technical details, and lets jump straight into whats more important... afterall, you are here to learn how to grow taller no ?

Here are 3 simple stretches to help you grow taller fast:

Pelvic Shift: A very useful and effective way of getting the maximum stretch out of your "stretching workouts" and exercise is the pelvic shift.

When you execute this exercise, you will be working most of your core muscles on your back and also your helps strengthen your hamstrings and hips.

What you want to do here is to lay down flat with your back on the floor. (I would suggest you use a fitness or yoga map). Place both your hands firmly on the floor and bend your knees so that your feet is very close to your bottocks.

After at which, simply move your pelvis forward by arching your back. Holdthis position for about 20 second before releasing. You should feel a good stretch on your back muscles after 2 to 3 repetitions.

The Forward Bend: Another great way to help improve the flexibility of your spine and strengthen of your lower back is the forward bend.

You want to being this stretching exercise by down on your knees and hands. Slowly straighten your legs while your push your arm upwards.

It is important that you try to push through your shoulders so your bottom is pushed back and you can feel the stretch on your lower back as well as your hamstring, which is the key from the whole exercise.

Remember to take deep breathes and hold for a few seconds. You should be able to do this stretch at least 5 times.

Well, by now, you should probably realize that most of the stretches are targetted towards the strengthen of your lower back and improving the posture of your spine.

So, the 3rd stretching exercise also does not deviate away from your lower back:

The Cobra Stretch: This stretch is very useful for strengthen the lower back, strengthening your arms and also, stretching your abs.

In fact, thi is one of the most popular stretching exercise for lower backs by fitness trainers.

First, you want to lie down on your front with your arms stretch out. As you start to arch your back backwards, use your arms to help support you back up, keeping and feeling the tension on your back and abs.

Note that it is important that you do not feel any discomfort doing this stretch and if straightening your arms may be too much for you, you may also rest your elbow on the ground as you arch backwards.

All in all.. the tension should be felt but not with any discomfort.
