Almost everyone wants to be taller because it adds flavor to one’s physical beauty. I was so desperate to increase my height when a friend, who happened to be a professional fitness trainer, said that abdominal exercises and other body muscle exercises can help me grow. So I commit to complete physical activities to exercise my muscles effectively. Imagine, not only will I enjoy firmer muscles, I will also have a taller body.
How do abdominal exercises help?
Abdominal exercises are a vital method to increase my height naturally. Strong abdominal muscles can help us get taller because the strength of our abdominal muscles has direct contact with the muscular strength of our lower back.
We can have a good posture if our lower back muscles are in good condition. If we have weak abdominal and lower back muscles, we also have poor posture which can lower our height. Our spine can be flexible if the lower back muscles are strong. Remember, the strength of our spine is an important key to our growth. If we exercise our abdominal muscles, we will have extra weight on our abdomen. This will help stretch your back and improve your posture.
Abdominal exercises for height increase
These are two exercises to increase my height that were helpful for me. I guess this will be useful for other people as well. These exercises are great to add to an abdominal exercise program to get all of your abdominal muscles better. Don’t forget that as you improve your abdominal muscles, you are also improving your back.
1. Lower Ab Crunch
This exercise will target the lower abdominal muscles. Your muscles will be stronger so you will have better lower back posture. You can perform this exercise on the floor or on a bench.
Your back should be flat on the ground and your knees should be bent at a 45-degree angle. Help your knees slowly come up to your chest by contracting your lower abs. Stay like this for about five seconds. Then slowly return to the starting position. Repeat this exercise at least 15 times.
2. Leg raises
The hip or leg raise is an effective follow-up to the lower abdominal exercise. You’ll further improve your lower back strength as you tone your abdominal muscles.
This is an easy and efficient exercise. I was able to increase my height by doing leg raises. You will feel the effect of this exercise as you work your lower back and abdominal muscles.
Lie down on the floor to prepare for this exercise. You should extend your legs up so that it is perpendicular to your body. Raise your hips three to five inches off the floor while pushing your lower abdominal muscles up. Keep your feet straight as you lift.
Gently lower your hips as you return to the starting position. Repeat this exercise 15 times.
If I increased my height naturally through abdominal exercises, then there is no reason why you can’t. But more than just exercising, you should also lead a healthy lifestyle. It will be a huge waste of time if you continue to exercise without improving your lifestyle. So, good luck to you and enjoy the higher you get.
