Anyone wanna be taller?

[lizzyfizzy]

Here ya go:

Those of you that want to grow taller are probably looking for a magic pill or formula to get you there. There is no such thing, but there are some growing taller secrets that can help you gain a few inches in a month or two. Here are three of them for you.

1. Hanging

This sounds strange, but if you hang by your arms for a half hour a week you will stretch out your spine and all the muscles around it. This also stretches out your arms and legs as well. This will promote growth and this alone can help you gain a few inches over a period of time.

2. Swimming

This is one of the best exercises you can do for gaining height and for your overall health. The crawl stroke will stretch out your spine in an environment that is very relaxed and will help you avoid injury. It also will broaden your shoulders and stretch most of your body.

3. Sprinting

If you want to raise your human growth hormone levels this is the secret right here. Sprint for as long as you can without overdoing it and you will skyrocket your HGH levels. Do this a few times a week and you will be on your way to growth that you never thought was possible. This is a very good secret to help you with your height gains.

Now you need to have some determination to get these done each week and you will have the growing taller secrets working for you. These are three of them and there are many more, but this should give you a good start.

[pbumbaca]

Way too much like work, I'll just remain short thanks!

I really wish I were a tad taller, but I don't think I want it that badly.

[lizzyfizzy]

bwahahahahaha!! i showed my mom and she said the same thing.

[ColleenSwerb]

I wish I was taller all the time, but that is just absurd, lol.

ETA:Now I have that song stuck in my head. "I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller, I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her......"

[digideb]

HAHAHA!!! No thanks, I'm happy at 5' 10 1/2"

[ditzyscrap]

Yeah, no...I don't need to be taller, I'm tall enough!

[lovely1m]

I wouldn't mind being a bit taller, but I already swim and run, guess I just need to start hanging from a bar.

[Libby Pritchett]

HA! This reminds me of that episode of the Andy Griffith show where Barney needed to be taller for his physical....

anyone? lol

[LenaGardner]

Believe it or don't....but you CAN really grow about 1/2"-3/4" taller by doing a lot of stretching, having chiropractic adjustments, and drinking A LOT of water. A high school friend of mine did this to "gain" the 1/2" he needed to become an MP in the Army. Staying hydrated keeps the fluid in your spinal column at the level it is supposed to so that, with good posture, you can achieve your maximum height measurement. He did this for about a month.


My husband SHRUNK an inch when he lost 150 lbs. He went from being 6'1 to 6'0. Turns out the fat on the bottom of his feet and the top of his head counted for something

[wildblueeyez]

I'll stay short too!!

[jennpage]

I am 5' 10". Sometimes I wish I were a little shorter.

HAHAHAHA! i used to love that song!! I heard the "Tootsie Roll" song on the radio today!

okay back on track, lol. Being tall can be handy, but also annoying. for example:

1. when i was younger, i was always prepared for a flood, fashion-wise. could not find pants long enough.
2. when i worked at a department store, i got put in the shoe department because being tall, they figured i wouldn't have to stand on the ladder quite as high to reach the shoes stored up high. and no one else wanted to do shoes, lol.
3. when i worked at a gas station, there was a dress code for your shorts in the summer. i always got into trouble by the district manager cause he said my shorts were too short. i couldn't help it my legs made thing look shorter. they really werent' that short, they came almost to the tips of my fingers when i put my arms down, lol.
4. to this day, if i'm at a store and someone needs to reach something higher up, they ask me. complete strangers. most of the time i don't mind but its kinda funny lol.

i can now find long pants. yay!! so thats not too bad anymore, lol.

[OrianaVianey]

I'm fine with my heels... LOL

[SeattleSheri]

I'm pretty happy with 5'8" ... but if they have something similar to make me thinner, I'd be interested Muahhh ... maybe just do 2 and 3??

[LeeAndra]

Taller? But then how I would pick up guys in the supermarket with my damsel in distress eyelash bat 1-2 flutter?!

'Excuse me, Hunky? I'm just a cute lil' wee thing and can't reach that darn ol' spaghetti jar there. Would you mind me getting it for me? I'd be ever so much obliged to pay you back for your kindness by allowing you to take me to dinner 'n' a movie.'

[pewtertm]

LOL, the first thing I thought of was if that works, then maybe that little exercise in Judy Blume's 'Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret' might work too...

We must, we must, we must increase our busts...
