How to Make Yourself Taller Doing Thses Three Exercises at Home

Are you one of the many that feel that you are too short and would like to learn how to make yourself taller? For a lot of people, their lack of (or perceived lack of)  height adversely affects their self esteem. For other people, they would like to have added height for an enhanced sense of security. Other people would like to increase height to aid them in extra curricular activities such as basketball.

For all of these types of people, their reason for wanting a height increase is valid. After all, who wouldn't want to have good self esteem, feel more secure, or have more fun?

You probably have your own reason for wanting to learn how to make yourself taller, and you know what? It isn't that difficult to do, and you can do it in your own home. The majority of the things that you do in a growth program are things that a person would do that is trying to get in shape. If you have the right information and stay focused on a program, within weeks you can see noticeable results.

If you are one of those people that would be embarrassed to tell your friends and family about your new found quest for growth, you don't have to. Just tell them that you are trying to get back in shape because you feel like a couch potato, and want to get more energy. If you are already in shape, work out regularly, and watch what you eat, a growth program can very easily be hidden within your existing workout routine.

Here are three stretches that I have learned from my past experiences are very effective if your goal is to learn how to make yourself taller. Try to do sets of ten at about fifteen seconds for each repetition:

• The Leg Stretch Sit down on the floor with your legs spread as far apart as is comfortable. With one hand, reach for your toes on the same side of your body. Now with your other hand, reach for your other foot. If you can't reach your feet comfortably, do as far down your leg as possible. The most important thing is to keep your spine straight and pivot from the hips, without arching your spine.

• The Bow Down This one is exactly how it sounds. Stand upright with your hands on your hips. Keep them here throughout the exercise. Leading with your head, bend forward as far as possible. Keep your chin off of your chest and try not to bend your knees.

• The Yawn Another simple but effective stretch. Think of your stretch when you get out of bed in the morning. Stand with your hands held together behind your neck, then look upward and back as far as possible.
