the
pull ups
Pull-ups are the most popular amongst the exercises
to increase height. Though it might take some time
for you to notice the profound results of pull up exercises,
it is indeed very effective and will add about 2-3 inches
to your height with time.
Pull
ups force you to lift your own body-weight and put a force
downwards against the gravity. Pull-ups are one of the best
strength & height increase exercises you can do for
your upper-body. Set yourself below the bar you intend to
use to pull your body up. A standard pull up bar will usually
be at a height that requires you to jump up and grasp the
bar. You are now ready to do the exercise. In fact, what
you would normally do is grasp the bar and immediately move
into the upward phase of the exercise and down again.
the
cat stretch
The Cat Stretch is one
of the exercises to increase height that will
teach you to initiate movement from the center and to coordinate
your movement and breath. The alignment of your center depends
on the positioning of your pelvis. Therefore, think of your
hip positioning as the center of each pose. This is important
because your spine is the most significant line of energy
in every pose and because the way your spine elongates from
your center depends solely on which way your pelvis is turning.
Learn how to perform the Cat Pose in this section.

STEP
1: Start on your
hands and knees. Position your hands directly beneath
your shoulders and your knees directly beneath the
hips. Have your fingers fully spread with the middle
fingers pointing straight ahead. Make your back
horizontal and flat. Gaze at the floor. This is
your "neutral" positioning. When your
pelvis is in neutral, your spine will be at full
extension, with both the front and back sides equally
long.

STEP
2: As you wait for
the inner cue, do not sag into your shoulders. Instead,
create a line of energy through each arm by pressing
downward into your hands and lifting upward out of
your shoulders. Go back and forth like this several
times to make sure you understand the movement. As
you exhale, sag into your shoulders and do the incorrect
action; as you inhale, lengthen the arms, lift out
of the shoulders and do the correct action.

STEP
3: When you are ready
to begin, breathe in deeply. As you exhale, turn your
hips into Cat Tilt. Do this by gently pulling the
abdominal muscles backward toward the spine, tucking
the tailbone (coccyx) down and under, and gently contracting
the buttocks. Press firmly downward with your hands
in order to stay lifted out of the shoulders, and
press the middle of your back toward the ceiling,
rounding your spine upward. Curl your head inward.
Gaze at the floor between your knees.

the triangle stretch
In this exercise, you
build up strength in the lower back and upper legs while
you remove tension from the lower and upper back, the hips
and the hamstrings through both the twist and the stretching.
The exercise is good for your sense of coordination and
sense of balance. You need a lot of concentration and precision
to be able to carry it out correctly.

STEP
1: Start with the Downward
Facing Dog Pose.
|
 |
STEP
2: Move your left foot
forward for about 1 meter. |
 |
STEP
3: Put your left hand
beside your foot and carry your weight with the lower
back and on the heels of your foot in front. Raise
the upper part of your body until the lower back is
straight. You can recognize this by a groove in the
middle of the lower back. The right foot (the one
at the back) rests on the floor.

STEP
4: Stretch the leg
which is in front without bending the back or twisting
your body. With your back straight and your right
hip stretched backward, look at a point on the ground
and breathe in and out quietly. Press your left hand
against the heel and twist your chest to the left.
Let the twisting motion involve only your upper back
while your hip, lower back, legs and head remain stationary.
When you cannot twist any further, stretch your right
arm upward.

STEP
5: Then twist your
head to the left, look upward along your outstretched
arm and stretch out your neck. When you stand well
aligned in this position, it will feel light. The
better you do this exercise, the bigger will be the
triangle between your legs, arms and side are.
Step back towards
the Downward Facing Dog Pose and repeat the exercise
with your right leg in front.
