Ankle weights and Gaining height.

Posted by Vinesh on October 15th, 2007

Ankle weights function quite simply.

there are weights tied to your ankle making your legs function in an anti-gravitational movement assisting toning of your legs.

Now how does this help for you to gain height… well, pulling movement!

Let me explain, what goes up must come down… that includes the weights too!

lets say if your hanging on a rod. The legs are functioning with gravity, pulling your spine down further. Great stretch, isn’t it?

So yes, Ankle weights help you to grow taller.

To Gain Height, the things you can do with ankle weights are:

Hang on a rod: 5 mins daily

cycle: 5 mins with seat a bit above your comfort zone.

kick: front kick and swing kicks

30 with each leg, keep doing as many as you can, results in double advantage.

Jogging: On concrete floor for 20 minutes, immediately followed by sitting on a high platform with your legs facing downwards causing expansion of the micro fractures caused during jogging, eating anything high in calcium would fill these fractures resulting into 1 inch to 2 inch raise in height.

sleeping with lower legs outside the bed also increases height effectively (though not with proportion)

Proper position to put an ankle weight


Things that will ruin your chances of gaining height

Posted by Vinesh on October 14th, 2007

1.) Depression, anxiety and stress:

how?

Well, your hormones don’t function at their best when your mind is completely obstructed and slowed.

This leads to less secretion of growth hormone which results in both weight gain and precious growing time lost.

I would especially like the parents here to note this and don’t fucking feed your kid pills that will screw his metabolism or body even if the fucker shrink says it.

2.) heavy weight

First things first, broadness causes an optical illusion of shortness too.

Secondly, your growth plates at your knees will be damaged if your weight is too much which is again why I advise parents to fight obesity or your kid might end up being a short legged person for life.

3.) improper nutrition

just because you are slim doesn’t mean you are eating well.

Growth hormone requires amino acids, exercise to be secreted well.

So eat healthy as early as 12 to get your maximum height.
