When it comes down to exercises to grow taller, people always wonder if kicking actually works on the journey to increasing your height and the answer is yes.

Kicking is a very effective method that you can work through daily that is not only fun but also keeps you fit and by going through it will also reap the growth benefits.


So when it comes down to kicking there is a specific method that you should follow to do this. If you have a punch bag then you are already going to get better results than those that don't as you are going to be working the shin and the thighs even more than you would when without.

For those without a punch bag you are going to want to just perform a standard snap kick as they call it in karate. If you don't know what this is, it is the method of lifting your knee up, flicking out your shin and foot (aim it at an imaginary person in the middle of the abdomen) and then bringing it back to the raised knee position and then back down.

Repeat this a couple of times on one leg and then continue onto the next leg. Keep repeating this a few times for each leg and then stop and do it the next day (remember to take rest days when you can as they are vital for the recovery and growth).

What this kick does is it targets your thighs and this kick can help gain a little bit of extra height from this kick.

Another kick which is also effective for this is the pendulum kick where you basically jut swing your leg up in the air just like a pendulum and once again this will target your thigh too (adding ankle weights can help increase the difficulty and improve the results for this).

For those of you with a punch bag you can also take a shot at round house kicks. The round house is basically like a sideways snap kick.

By doing this on a punch bag you are stretching out the thighs but you are also creating micro fractures in the shins which grow back stronger and longer giving you some more extra height.

These are not the only exercises to grow taller that you can try out. There are many more that apply the same principle such as jump rope and sprinting, these exercises focus on creating micro fractures and after the rest period and recovery they will have grown back stronger and longer giving you some extra height.

Cycling is another exercise that will target the thighs which is a great method to go through if cycling is part of your daily ritual or whether you want to start getting yourself healthy or travel around then slight changes such as increasing the height of the seat and the handle bars can be really effective and by doing this you will be able to fit in growing taller exercises into your day to day plan easily.
