Cycling to Growing Taller

By Rodney Williams

The bicycle has been around for over a century and today there are literally millions of people who use it as their main form of exercise and recreation. Riding a bicycle is highly recommended by doctors both as a way to lose weight and to tone your body. Bicycles are an overall excellent way to stay fit and a fantastic way to stimulate your body to grow.

If you are working to grow taller, then it is important that you exercise regularly. Exercise helps your body grow because it triggers the release of the Human Growth Hormone, or HGH, that makes your bones and tissue lengthen. Exercise increases your metabolism, helping you to lose weight that normally hurts your posture and makes you appear shorter. The natural stretching of the muscles that occurs during exercise helps support your body as it grows. Also, it makes your sleep more effective, and promotes mental health.

There is probably not an exercise more effective at increasing height than the bicycle. Bicycling helps your body in many ways. It is a very aerobic exercise and it strengthens your entire cardiovascular system. This means that the HGH and nutrients in your system can circulate more freely. Also, this kind of aerobic exercise tones your muscles. This includes your legs and back which need this strength during critical periods of growth.

Bicycles are a superior form of exercise because they give you the potential to actually gain height while you ride. Pushing a pedal makes you extend your leg and stretch your body. Stretching is important because it gets your muscles in peak condition to use the HGH in your system. While this process happens naturally when riding a bike, here are a few things you can do to capitalize on your activity.

Before you begin your ride, make sure your handlebars are high enough so that you ride in an upright position with your feet flat on the pedals. There have been studies comparing the relationship between the height of your handle bars and your bodys ability to gain height. Two groups with similar nutrition and fitness were compared. The shorter group rode their bike in a racing position that required them to be bent over the low handlebars. The taller group rode their bike in an erect position with higher handlebars. Posture plays an important role in growth and it is important that you keep good posture on your bike.

After you raise your handlebars, raise your seat to a position that makes your leg fully extend with you pedal. Your feet must stay flat on the pedal and your back in an upright position. Keep riding in this position until your body is very comfortable. Then, raise your seat height one quarter of an inch so that your legs must extend further. Continue to ride with your foot flat on the pedal and with your back upright.

Every time you can comfortable pedal with your foot flat you should raise the seat again. This continues to train your legs to stretch as they reach for the pedal. You will be able to raise the seat and still keep your feet flat because your legs have grown. You will be able to see proof that you have gained height, which also helps improve your mental health.

Having proof that you have had a height gain will give you a more positive attitude to continue your efforts. Exercise typically improves mental health and seeing these great results may just be the inspiration your body needs to grow more. Believing that you have the ability to be taller is just as important as getting exercise and eating right.

Since its invention in the nineteenth century, the bicycle has become the preferred form of exercise for millions of people. Whether you are riding down a path or stationary in a gym, a bicycle is proven to make your body taller and healthier. Also, the stretching and strengthening that occurs when you ride a bike gives you the mental boost you need to grow. A few simple changes to your regiment and some quality time on your bike may be all that you need to achieve your height goals.

  1. Elegant writing on the effect of bicycling on height growth! Most other sites on the topic are descriptive and not convincing with ambiguous conclusions. This article on the other hand uses a mechanistic approach to lay out whether and how bicycling help height growth. This is reflected in describing the stepwise raises of seat height each time after the legs get used to the current seat height. This leads effectively to the belief that a leg must grow longer in order to do such sequences.

  2. Grow taller at any age! is a programme which proves that it's not truly impossible to increase your height after you cross the age of 18 as some consider 18 years of age is the dead end to height growth. It gives information on a lot of natural and artificial ways to height gain. In some cases natural ways to increasing height may not be so effective but a mix of artificial and natural usually guaranties an increased height. There are a lot of different exercises mentioned in the programme http://dld.bz/growheight and the perfect diet and nutrition which contribute in increasing height are also mentioned.
