Скачать или смотреть "Can exercises make us taller?" - a short debate

Height seems to be a big topic for some people. In the past several years, other than general fitness questions, "can I get taller?" is one of the MOST common questions I get.

This video is based off the common discussion points I see and hear.

Can exercises and stretches increase our height? Kind of. Stretches and posture exercises can make you appear taller, but I don't know of any exercises that can actually lengthen you long-term (especially after you're an adult). Hanging from a bar decompresses your spine a bit, but this usually fluctuates.

This is part of my "Arguing with Myself" series where I explore different sides of different topics to give different perspectives. I give my opinion at the end, but I'll also type it out here:

I mostly agree with Hampton B (that’s the second Hampton, on the right). But Hampton A is based off some perspectives I've heard and understand. I get where they're coming from.

Posture exercises and stretches can help reveal our height - but they probably won’t make us taller than we actually are. If those exercises make you feel better too—that’s even better. I’ve found Bridges and Twist Holds to be nice. Y Raises and Wall Slides too. Some people consider this as "getting taller" which is fine. That's partially where the "debate" comes in - people have different perspectives on what taller means.

Getting enough nutrition and sleep is really important if you want to maximize your height potential. However, there’s usually not that much we can do to physically grow taller after adulthood, and if anyone promises you some kind of solution that suggests otherwise—maybe approach with caution. There’s a lot of weird stuff out there.

And hey—it’s okay to want to be taller. I know a lot of people do. I do think your mindset towards it will probably play a bigger role than just your height, but there may be benefits associated with being taller.

However, until we do find some way to alter our height, it can be good to find people who love us and encourage us to grow—not always literally.

By the way, I don't consider myself super tall, but I've never really had an issue with my height.

Have a wonderful day!
