Help! what can i do to grow :(

I hit around 5'6-7' by age 16 w/ a size 8 shoe -a few centimeters additional in height but no change since. Where you are at around that age is where you are.

LOL


As was stated - nothing you can do in terms of physical aspects....focus on posture and look into Pliates Yoga.....works well for the illusion

Actually people are spot on about the pilates.

My mum has been doing pilates consisitently for a year, she is very fit, swims every morning , does track workouts 3 nights a week, and does pilates twice a week, 60 years old and at her annual checkup yesterday she is 1.5 inches taller than she was last year... she has been doing the other sports for many years, but pilates only in the last year... so she thinks it has made her taller and convincing me to join it as well!

that's interesting.... My mom seems to be shrinking (she's 65) - she does yoga and walks like 5 miles /day, step aerobics and all that. Although for her it seems like more of a posture thing....

I agree pilates would help with posture that can make you appear taller as your posture is better

I'm no expert on pilates but my mum says that individual programs are much better than the classes... it does cost more, but as my mum is in better shape than most her age... as i said, she trains with a competitive triathlon club, does track workouts and pole vault! (yes she goes flying through the air!) she had a special pilates program tailored to her needs....and she thinks that makes a difference

Good for her! A lot of older women get that "hump" so many older women get......the Pilates may help avoid that......

I don't think you'll see either of my parents doing a pole vault...

That's awesome and I bet she sets the bar for you and what you feel that can be accomplished, literally!

I was 5'7" at 12....sigh that was fun in school.

Look at the bright side - You can always wear heels and be taller and when you take them off - VOILA - it's like being two people
