1. The Best Height Increase Exercises - Sprinting
First of all, sprinting and jogging are 2 entirely different things. For the purposes of this program and these height increase exercises, you will be sprinting.
Sprinting is simply running as fast as you can for a very short distance. There are two ways is which sprints will help you to develop longer legs:
Sprints (interval training) helps to temporarily boost the amount of our growth hormone secreted by the pituitary gland, which in turn helps to initiate growth.
Sprints are one of the best ways to stress your leg bones very quickly. In fact, if you only had time for one leg exercise activity on a given day, then doing a few sprints would be the best choice for you
2. Boost Your Metabolism
Your metabolism has a lot to do with your height and you can gain a few inches just by speeding it up. Eat well and have nutritious food intake. This is because the faster your metabolism the more HGH you will let out into your body for use. You will also have better blood circulation which will help you grow as well. You can speed up your metabolism by eating more meals throughout the day.
3. Jumping Rope
Relive your childhood and break out the jump rope. Jumping rope puts a lot of stress on your shins which, when combined with proper rest afterwards, will help to lengthen your legs.
For maximum stress, jump with both of your legs at the same time. Remember to keep your body weight on the balls of your feet. Perform as many jumps as you can for 5 minutes.
Jump rope every other day (3 times per week). Specifically, jump rope on the days when you are NOT cycling.
4. Swim
Swimming stretches out your entire body and it is one of the best exercises for your body period. The crawl stroke works great and you will not only see gains in height, but also in your shoulders becoming a little more broad.
