Perhaps one of the oldest obsessions mankind has besides losing weight is growing taller. People who want to be tall will go to any lengths to achieve being it. Perhaps one of the oldest obsessions mankind has besides losing weight is growing taller.

One should not lose hope even though the fact still remains that a human being reaches a certain point in his life when he or she stops growing. No therapy or operation can alter that but there are natural ways to get taller and increase your height growth.

To enhance your height growth, a few exercise routine along with certain stretches can not only make you taller, but stronger as well.

Here are some simple height increasing stretches that you can do:

* Cat Stretch- Have all four of your hands and knees on the floor and arch your back. Then bring your back to a downward dip with your head tilted. Hold each stretch for at least 5-10 seconds.

* Super Snake Stretch- Lay on your back with your arms at our side and arch your back downward with your chin tucked in your chest. Then arch your back upward lifting your hips up still keeping your chin tucked in your chest. Hold yourself in that position for as long as you can or for 10-20 seconds. Do about five repetition.

* Hamstring Stretch- Sit on the floor or mat with your legs spread far apart. Lean forward and try to touch the tip of your toes without bending your knees. Then lean on each leg separately and repeat. Your breathing is very important when it comes to exercising and stretching. So breath out when you are reaching forward to touch your toes.

* Sprints- Can be done indoors or outdoors and are just quick runs. * Kicking- Kick your legs up as high as you can while you are standing.

* Cycling- An hour a day is good and you can ride a regular bicycle or a stationary bicycle.

* Jumping Jacks- Do at least 100 jumping jacks for an hour or 50 jumping jacks in 30 minutes.

* Jumping Rope- Jump rope for 30 minutes daily.

* Pull Up Bars- Pull yourself up until your chin touches the top of the bar and hold that position for at least 10 seconds. Do not hang your chin on the bar, it is completely unnecessary and potentially dangerous.

Come up with a daily routine and give yourself a few minutes everyday. These stretches to increase height are very easy to do and can be done in a short time.
