Why is he only genetics ?
Why am I kind so short , please ?
If you are that guy , it's time to stop .
If he is only genetics .
What am I am ?
I some sort of weird hybrid creature or something ?
Oh , yes .
And for those of you who are new to the channel , I am 6 ft two in length and my parents are 56 and 54 in length respectively .
Now , what if I told you that for people who did exercise and for people who didn't do exercise , there will be an average a 10 centimeter height gap between them , even though even if their parents are the same height .
I know , I know it sounds crazy .
It sounds crazy , but it is true because there's actually science behind this theory .
10 centimeters , I'll show you how much that is .
So if I didn't do exercise , I would , I would have probably only be this tall like up to here in this video .
I'll give you a brief summary of the science behind this theory and I will tell you the exercises which I did that may mean this tall .
So if you don't want to hear the science , feel free to uh skip to the height part .
And if you guys are ready to expand lengthwise along with me , let's get right into the video .
Yo , yo , yo , hold up , hold up .
Just one last thing .
If you guys can subscribe , turn on the notification bell , like comment and share .
I will really , really appreciate it .
The science .
Now , the science behind why exercise makes you taller isn't really that hard to explain .
First of all , you get the sunlight and sunlight means calcium , which means growth .
Second of all , you get hunger craves , which means that you crave more food , you eat more food and which that makes you taller .
And third , you sleep better because after exercise , your body is tired , you sleep better .
And fourth most importantly , exercise places your bones under tension and by tension .
I don't mean the bad 10 .
I mean the good 10 , just the right tension will get the maximum growth out of your bones .
And yeah , that's basically the summary of why exercise makes you taller .
Now , moving on to the exercises that I did .
First one would definitely be tag which I played throughout year six and year seven .
Some variations include power core tag on an obstacle course tag , especially played with a group of friends gets extremely competitive and can be a great way of placing the bone under the optimal tension for park tank , you jump off and off drops which also load the shin bone .
As you can see here , I'm jumping off the low drop , the drop can vary in height as well as length .
The most important thing is to place your shin under stress .
However , what you have to do is be careful with the jumps because , uh , I have , I have friends who severely injured themselves doing park , park jumps like these .
And as you can see here , I just did a massive jump .
As I said , uh , it can vary in length as well as he , as long as you're stressing the shin .
Here are some exercises that I wish I did when I was growing .
As you can see these little hops places your shin under stress more specifically , which will lead to better results if you guys have the time for her .
And as you can see these massive jumps also load the shin to the optimal amount , which is even more specific .
Now , some other sports will include basketball , rugby , soccer , kickboxing , anything that's high intensity and places your shin under stress is ok .
Now , if done right , you shouldn't , should feel a little stress on a scale of 10 .
It's a one or a two .
If it's anything higher than that , you have , um , you probably have growth , pain related um , injuries .
So you might need to consult your physiotherapist or physician and also for the exercising stuff .
I really don't recommend people over the age of 15 going overboard with the exercise because it can be damaging to their bones if their bones have already finished growing .
So , for the older people , I would uh steer you more towards the stretching stuff , which I will go through right now .
The stretches now stretches .
I did all my stretches in my kickboxing and taekwondo classes .
If you guys know martial arts , do martial arts or anything like that , you know that every , every session they make you do stretches .
And here are some of the stretches that I did first up , we have the posterior calf stretch , this loosens up the calf muscle that's on the back of your leg .
Now , we have the standard reach for your toes which loosens up the hamstring .
Now , we have the quad stretch and loosens up the front quad .
And now we have the core stretch which loosens up your uh core .
And now we have the anterior calf stretch .
It loosens up the uh calf muscle around your tibia stretches are extremely important .
They loosen up your muscle , which means that there will be less resistance on your bones at night , which is when you grow the most .
And plus stretches help you recover from your previous day of exercise , meaning that you can go hard again the very next day , especially when you're young .
This is very , very helpful and I highly , highly recommend these stretches .
As you can see , it's basically your whole body stretch .
If you want to go above and beyond , I would recommend doing some yoga .
I didn't do yoga growing up , but I wish I did because yoga is a much better way of stretching .
It also makes you sleep better and so much benefits to yoga .
However , it , it really is optional as I can see why people don't want to do yoga when they're young .
So it's up to you guys .
Now , here's the exercise , which I wish I did when I was younger .
This is recommended to me by my physiotherapist .
All you have to do is lock up and hang on the bar and any bar would work .
This will stretch your spine to make it longer .
It would also help with your posture .
If you're younger than 15 , I would recommend five sets of 10 seconds every day .
And if your back feels like it's a bit tired , then have a rest , have a rest day and continue the next day .
For those of you who are over the age of 15 , I would recommend three sets of 10 seconds .
And yeah , the same thing , if you're tired , just have a rest .
Now for the summary .
Now , just an overview of what your day should look like every day .
You should accumulate at least two hours of high intensity exercise such as basketball , soccer , football , rugby , or kickboxing or anything that's very high intensity or tag works too .
Anything that's high intensity places , your shin under stress , plyometric training sessions are ok as well .
If you want to train for vertical jumping .
That's also very , very helpful .
At the end of the day at night , I would highly highly recommend you do three sets of each of those stretch and hold them for 10 seconds as well as a arm hang and try to sleep before 10 o'clock .
As I reiterated before in my last video , in my previous videos , sleep is very , very important .
You've got to get the sleep in to grow .
Also , if you experience any small pain around the body , make sure you stop all those exercises and take a few days to rest it , rest it up and then continue the following day because small pain can snowball into big injuries very , very quickly .
Last but not least , I highly , highly , extremely , highly recommend doing exercise sleep and eating right all , all in conjunction because one of these things will never get you too , very tall , trust me .
And that's gonna wrap it up for this video .
