Hi, Big Rob from CelebHeights here with a video about Growing Taller and Morning Heights.
I was looking through an old hard drive, a big bulky old hard drive there.
And I found a couple of images from 2008.
This is when I got the stadiometer and obviously for the first week or so I was testing it
and I remember trying to test my morning height and what the maximum I could get.
Now, one of the times I first took a measurement, you can see here - Big Rob - in 2008, was,
this was a typical, I think a 7 hour sleep day.
And I was looking at it and thinking I was 174.4ish
And I've got a file, it was called TopMorning Height.
This was within 30/40 seconds of wakening up.
You know, quickly throw on the clothes, had the camera set-up the night before, in the
proper position.
And then setting the timer and taking the photograph.
And this was my top morning height back in 2008.
I managed to get, which was about 174.7.
Right on 5 foot 8.75.
So that's me in 2008.
5 foot 8.75 on the device.
Now people on website CelebHeights will remember back in 2005 me saying morning height was
in the 5ft 8.6 range, which kind of ties in with that, because the stadiometer of course gives a
wee eighth of an inch error.
So my morning height back in 2005 to 2008 or 9 was between 5 foot 8.6 and 7.
But what about nowadays?
The last few years, actually this morning...check out this video.
It's quarter to Seven.
I'm just thirty seconds out of bed.
I'm going to check my morning height after a good 9 hours sleep to see if we've reached
a peak morning height.
So, standing tall.
Bashing it down.
And that is 175.4.
Now you just saw there my morning height was 175.4, which is the maximum morning I ever
can achieve.
Compared to 2008 that's like 7, 7, about 7 millimetres difference which isn't insignificant.
Now the only thing that I've done over those years is just a very basic 3 or 4 minutes
a day of simple exercises to maintain my posture.
I've done this with Jenny as well.
Because she's in her 40's.
She's lost a little fraction.
I'm working with her on some basic techniques for her posture.
So that as she ages, hopefully she won't lose as much as other people do, because when you
get into your 40's and 50's you sometimes develop bad habits.
And your spine...your spinal shape adjusts slightly and then your shoulders hunch and etc
And you get into them bad habits and you can't actually stand as tall as you once could.
But have I actually grew taller in my 30's?
Now I could say, look at that - there's me in 2008 and 2009.
There's a fraction of a difference there.
I've grew taller.
Have I?
I don't know, I don't think so.
I think what I've done is, because of these 3 or 4 minutes of very basic manoeuvres I
do every day, I have somehow maximised my morning height.
My posture is now at the optimal level at age 38.
And even my core and my back muscles are helping me stand as tall as I can.
Because there's people on youtube who have spent months and months doing 1 or 2 hours
of stretching a day and their saying they've gained a little bit of height.
Good luck to them.
I think everybody who isn't like a gymnast or an athlete has a potential in them to maximise
their morning height.
Even 5 minutes a day could help that over time.
Has it helped with me?
There's some evidence there.
It possibly could have helped.
But I think to actually say Have you grew, you would need to demonstrate a morning height
at least half an inch taller.
I think then you can say there's something there.
But anyway, what else have I done in them 8 years? Well....
I've stopped watching soap operas, I've visited CelebHeights thousands and thousands
of times, so now you know.
Visit CelebHeights and stop watching Eastenders or General Hospital and you might gain that
fraction of an inch.
See you in the next video.
