The Type of Stretching Exercise For Height Growth On

Practice all kinds of stretching, including Yoga, Pilates or just simply trying to reach your feet while standing.

You should stretch and breathe slowly for best results. Cartilage is a firm yet elastic substance. With the appropriate exercises, you can stretch the cartilage between:

- The vertebrae in the spinal column,

- The thigh bones and,

- The tibia or shin bones.

You can grow by developing your cartilage that will in turn increase the space between the vertebras.

Do the following stretching exercises in bed at night and in the morning.

1. Leg Stretch

- Lie on your back, stretch out your right leg (and then left leg once completed).

- Count to five.

- Imagine you are pushing a box with the flat of your foot.

- Repeat the same exercise but on your stomach.

2. Hip Stretch

- Lie on your back and bring your knees to your chest, pulling them with your hands.

- At the same time, exhale through the mouth and tighten your stomach muscles.

- Inhale through the nose as you returns your feet to the mattress.

- Variation (the rocker): Bring your knees to your chest with your hands and rock yourself.
