3/6

​Hanging exercises

Hanging is one of the best exercises to increase height. It helps in increasing the endurance of your arms and stimulates your upper body muscles. This also helps in toning the body and shaping it up. The toning and shaping of the body can help in increasing the height.

4/6

​Toe touching

Toe touching is an easy exercise that stimulates the muscles in your back and calves and gives your thigh muscles a nice massage. Try to touch your toes but do not push yourself beyond your limits. You can make your kids perform the exercise from an early age.

5/6

​Cobra pose

To perform a cobra pose, lie down on your tummy and slowly lift your upper body. Bend as much as your body permits to enhance the growing capabilities of your body cells. This will help in increasing the height.

6/6
