Be creative and try to figure more stretches with the swiss ball or hell! simply sit on it all day long, will decompress your spine enough to make you look taller.
Also choose the workouts in gyms that focus on your thighs and lower back will automatically straighten your posture.
Have fun,
Vinesh

morning!
October 18th, 2007 at 5:32 pm
awesome stuff!
October 18th, 2007 at 7:01 pm
did you give thought for many people some of the stretches are impossible…
And I would just like to advise those reading here: Dont stretch if you are under too much pain!
Go as far as you can after doing a weights workout and after waking up, will increase your flexibility and loosen your body enough for the painful stretches

I would like to also note that other than height, toning and physical strength and weight loss are enhanced if you go for the exercises mentioned above.

I’m not able to do a few of these yoga stretches (go figure!), and the others result in an awful lot of pain, but i manage to get around them. So should i skip a few of the tough ones till i get a bit comfortable with the others or should i keep trying? And another thing i skip rope, a few pull-ups and jog every morning. Could i do them after the stretches?

Yeah, you can definately do them after the stretches, stretching works like a warm up and cool down (surprising, isn’t it?), I suggest you do the comfortable ones after the workout.

I recommend forceful limb extention for you, this will straighten your posture making you look sleeker but for height gain, try other stuff.
March 21st, 2008 at 3:26 am

March 21st, 2008 at 4:49 am

April 6th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
weight are all the better, make sure you are lifting well and stretching after workout.
Ashish, I recommended stretching for good posture, forceful limb extension for height gain.
Honestly, lot of effort, nice if you can give it.
