Leg Stretches
There are a number of different types of
stretches for legs and any stretches that work the calves will be very useful
in increasing height. One good calf exercise is to stand parallel to a wall and
place your hands on the wall. Put your weight on your hands and then slowly
move one leg closer to the wall. You should feel a stretch in your calf. Hold
the position for 20 to 30 seconds and repeat it a few times.

The Table
For this exercise you are going to put your
body into the shape of a table. While it sounds easy enough this is actually a
difficult stretch that will work wonders for your health. Start by sitting on
the floor with your legs stretched out. Then place your palms on the floor with
your hands facing toward your feet. Next place your feet flat on the floor and
push your torso upward until your body resembles a table.

Jump Rope
Jump rope is not only a school yard activity
and a great way to remember songs, it is also a great exercise for stretching
out the body, especially the lower legs. You will build up these muscles and
stretch them out throughout the jumping motion. The more often you jump rope
the sooner you will start to see results.

Spot Jump
Jumping is an exercise that really stretches
out the cartilage in the body, especially the legs. Repetition of vertical
jumps or squat jumps can stretch out the cartilage so that the body gradually
becomes taller. You can either do this as an individual exercise at home or you
can play basketball in order to get plenty of vertical jumps into your workout
routine.

Dry Swim or Alternate Kick
This is a great way to get the stretching
benefits of swimming even if you don’t have regular access to a pool. In order
to complete this exercise you will need to lay on your stomach. Stretch your
arms out in front of you with your right arm slightly higher than your left.
Then with your legs stretched out raise your left leg up. Hold the position for
several seconds before switching your arm and leg.

will help stretch out your neck and spine.

Two Legs Straight Up
For this exercise you will need to lay flat on
your back. Place your palms flat on the floor at your side. Then try and raise
your legs toward the ceiling at the same time. Do the motion slowly and stretch
your legs up until your pelvis slightly lifts off the ground. This is a great
stretch for your legs and lower back. It is also a difficult stretch so it may
take some practice.

Forward Spine Stretch
This stretch is all about your back and calves.
Sit on the floor with your legs stretched out in front of you. Now reach
forward and try to touch your toes by arching your back. This is another way to
stretch many of the same muscles in the toe touch and you should hold the
position for several seconds.

Pilates Roll Over
This may be a difficult move to master but it
is well worth the effort. Lay on your back with your arms at your sides. Lift
your legs together toward the ceiling just like the two leg lift. Next try and
bring your legs back to touch the floor behind your head. There are few
stretches that stretch your back out so completely. This works to strengthen
and elongate the spine so doing this stretch every day will have great results
for your body balance.

you and have the ability to stretch your body an inch or two as well. Start on
your hands and knees. Arch your back upward and lift while keeping your ads
tight. Hold this position for a few seconds and then breathe out as you push
your tailbone under. Hold this position and then repeat the stretch.
