Hi, Big Rob from CelebHeights here
In this video, I'm going to show some you some tips and techniques that I use
to maintain and maximise my height as I grow older
Hopefully you can benefit from them too
So tip Number 1 is called the Compress, Decompress
Find yourself a door frame and stand underneath it on one side with your feet a good foot apart
Now, with the palm of your hands put them at the top of the door-frame like that, facing upwards
And push upwards and you will feel your shoulders and your back compress down
Hold it for a few seconds and then release
Then we move to the other side of the doorframe and we put our hands in front of us
and we slowly bring them upwards and backwards until we hit the wall
At that point, push up an inch and you will really feel that back stretching
Hold it for 3 or 4 seconds and then release Then we do that technique 3 or 4 times.
And that's tip number one.
So tip Number 2, again used our sturdy doorframe
On this occasion, we're gonna stand directly underneath it with our feet again
about a foot apart
And we're going have our palms facing forward like this
And Slowly, we're going to bring our hands up and as you reach about shoulder level
begin to breathe in until your hands hit either side of the door frame
And at that moment, push up And hold that for a few seconds
And just repeat that 3 or 4 times
Tip number 3, builds on the first two techniques by adding an element of flexibility
In order to do this, I'd highly recommend purchasing a pull-up bar
This is called the PowerBar 2 I'll put a link in the description below
It's very easy to use You simply extend your 2 arms
And hook it on to the frame Make sure it's solid, attached to the frame
So there's 3 techniques I use with the hanging bar
The firstly, is a simple hang Now many people might not be able to manage
this at first What I do is, I lower down first
and I bend my knees Now if you can't cross your legs and hold
that, it's no problem If you can, then hold this for 5 to 10 seconds
and repeat it 3 times The second technique is like doing a pull-up
Hold onto the bar and what I do is I pull myself up and lift my feet off the ground
a few inches
And I hold that for several seconds Now if you can't do that, simply pull yourself
up as much as you can and you'll feel the stretch in your upper back
and you'll feel yourself going on your tip-toes And try to hold that for 5 seconds
And just repeat that three times
So the third part of the hanging bar technique is we start in the normal position
with bent knees and then we're going to push our back outwards
till we form a curve And then slowly we bring ourselves forward
and upwards and reverse our curve
Hold that for 5 to10 seconds And we repeat that technique 3 times
So those 3 tips form The Five Minute Height Workout
What we're doing is adding an element of compression, decompression and flexibility to our spines
Which will help maintain height as we age and also improve our posture
Hopefully these tips will help you too Keep Walking Tall
