What type of exercise will make me taller?

Posted May 31st, 2009.

According to Grow Taller 4 Idiots, physical exercise can encourage your bones to grow and make you taller. Activities that stretch out your body are especially useful. When you’re considering which sport to take up, think about which ones will give you the most opportunity to reach and stretch.

Sports that engage your legs and torso will be of particular benefit. For example, tennis is useful because you have to run, reach and stretch to hit the ball. Swimming is another great exercise for height because it reduces spinal compression in addition to requiring you to stretch your arms and legs far away from your body.
