One can also add ankle weights for ideal results.
Steps To Follow:

  • Jump up and hang on to the bar.
  • Keep your arms and spine straight.
  • Remain in the position for 30 seconds.
  • Repeat the same at least three times daily.

If you can touch your toe tips, then you can try stretching even more to keep your spine flexed to the maximum extent. This may appear to be difficult initially, but the position can be achieved through regular practice.

Stretching exercises take your muscles outside their normal range. And, they are more effective when you perform them as soon as you wake up.  Morning stretching allows the free flowing of the fluid in the intervertebral discs of the spinal cord. If these discs are compressed, then the space between your vertebrae shrinks which will do no good to your height growth. If the discs expand, then you grow a little bit taller.

 Steps To Follow:

  • Extend your arms over your head. Use enough force and stretch to feel the elongation. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds, relax your body, and pull again.
  • Start with lying down straight on your back. Extend your arms and legs so as to reach the sky. Hold for 15 to 20 seconds and repeat.
