hanging exercise increases height

Is hanging capable of increasing your height?

According to researches, it is gravity that hinders a person from getting taller. Since people are standing for a major part of the day gravity affects the joints and spines and compresses them little by little. The muscles are contracted and cartilage is also squeezed. As such, people appear shorter. So, a good idea to grow tall is to defy the gravity by hanging. When you hang, the body fights against the effects of gravity and promotes growth.

How does hanging help to increase your height?

Hanging puts a lot of stress of your body even though it is just so simple. Your entire body gets stretched when you hang. While hanging, your feet are above the ground and not touching it. Gravity acts on your body and pulls you down. The lower part of your body gets stretched, and spine gets elongated. A simple way o understand this is to measure. First, take your height when you are standing normally. After that, hang on to a bar and ask someone to check your height. The difference between the two will show you the effects of hanging.

Things to remember for hanging exercise:

  • Find a set of good horizontal bars. Look out in gymnasiums or parks to get one.
  • The horizontal bars should be located high enough so that they can support your entire length.
  • Your feet should be kept at least 1 foot away from the floor while hanging.
  • Bend your knees a bit if your body is not able to extend completely.
  • Makes sure your body is able to hang freely.
  • Your palms should face the direction opposite you when hanging.
  • Try to stay in the same posture as when you are doing your push-ups, your palms facing away from you.
  • Hold the v-bars properly and tightly.
  • Relax and make your body free and loose.
  • Gravity starts acting on your body to pull it and hence, stretches it.
  • This makes your body grow a bit.

Ideal Exercise Time:

  16. KearNey Visuals says:

    Hey! I just wanted to know do you think if I hang 10 minutes a day (plus run 2 miles everyday) do you think I can possibly grow atleast 2-4 inches? I just turned 17 recently in September (2015). I am currently 6’1 but I wish to be somewhere around 6’3-6’5. I will also try to sleep 8-9 hours a day (“try” only because I play basketball and get home from practice at about 9:00). If I add a couple leg stretches every morning when I wake up and every night before I sleep, will that help? I just want to know that you think it’s possible for me to grow 2-4 inches at my age? And please, if so, can you help me do so or let me know what I have to do?

    • Pokemon says:

      At age 16-17, I was the same height. But when I was 18 I grew 2 centimeters. I was like wth how, even since today. Okay let me recap some of the stuff I did that time. Around that time I started lifting heavy the very first time such as deadlifts,bench press and squats. Deadlift 135lbs and my back gave out lmao because back then I bend my lower back like an idiot but it recovered after one week. I also remember I did short duration of stretch like touch my toe before going to the gym in the morning and I always did 10-20 pull ups a day (August to December). How the heck did I remember most of these stuff you asked because I wrote it down xD. There are still more info but I don’t want to write a whole essay here. But anyway this is a brief summary.
