HOW TO HAVE LONGER LEGS – EXERCISES TO MAKE LEGS LONGER

Among humans, developmental modifications result from both natural and environmental factors or pressures like cultural practices. An example of the latter was the now illegal practice in China of tightly wrapping or binding the feet of young girls with cloth with the aim of hindering normal growth.

While this caused permanent, crippling malformation of the foot bones, it also resulted in extremely tiny feet which were considered attractive. Parents crippled their daughters with good intentions.

Small feet made them more attractive potential marriage partners for rich important men and save them from a life of drudgery.

What makes such developmental adjustments to parts of our bodies possible is the fact that humans have a high degree of physiological plasticity .

That is to say, we can be physically molded by our environment during the growing process thus we can make legs grow longer with the aid of environmental pressures.

This article will show you how to get longer legs naturally during and after puberty by performing leg lengthening and stretching exercises . (how to make your legs longer)

THE BEST LEG LENGTHENING EXERCISES THAT COULD MAKE YOUR LEGS LONGER NATURALLY DURING AND AFTER PUBERTY.

Walking Jogging, and Running/ Sprinting

Sprinting lengthens bones naturally in two ways first, it increases micro fractures in the legs which may lead to bone growth in the process of healing if stretching is done with ankle weights or cycling.

Secondly, the entire body weight rests on our leg bones. If sprinting is done regularly it leads to an increase in bone mass since the bones will have to grow thicker to accommodate the stress applied on the legs when sprinting.

Its one exercise you can’t miss out if you wonder how to make your legs longer naturally or how to grow bones thicker after puberty.

Kicking

Doing many kicks regularly is believed to increase the length in the legs. Side kick in air not so high and so low about shoulder height and repeat as many times every day.

The only challenge with this technique is it takes much longer to see results unless you are a kick boxer and it is part of your daily workout routine.

Swimming

The very best stroke which will help you to make legs longer will be the breast stroke. The kicking action stretches your legs out while at the same time, you stretch out your torso as you float on water.

Cycling

This is one exercise that i have used to grow over 3″ in my shin bones. For more about it, read Leg Lengthening With Cycling.

If you don’t have a stationary bike , owning one will be an obvious thing to do for the best and quick results. First, it will save you the recurring gym costs and second it will ease your work out program since having a stationary bike at home allows you to conveniently cycle any time and day you feel like without worrying about trips to the gym.

If you wonder how to get long legs, its one exercise i highly recommend. Elevate your seat a few Centimeters than the level you cycle comfortably and when you get comfortable or used to the new height, you keep raising the seat and there will be no reason your legs don’t adapt to the rise in the bicycle seat.

Jumping and Skipping Rope.

Attempt doing this exercise by jumping with both legs at the same and land on the bottom of your feet parallel to the ground. The idea is to stamp the feet on the ground so that your leg bones grow stronger and thicker.

The more often you perform this exercise and the more the number of times you skip the more likely you will succeed when it comes to making your legs longer.

Inversion Table/Hanging

To perform this exercise, you must have an Inversion Therapy Table. If you don’t have an inversion table you can substitute it by fastening your ankle on a hanging strap and then hang upside down.

An effective inversion table and ankle weights routine can be found in the ebook below

The concept here it to stretch your lower body bones, i.e, your knee cap/ cartilage and thigh joints in order to make the cartilages between the bones grow in length thus it is a perfect way to lengthen the cartilage in the knees.

This workout also has a great added advantage. Besides increasing your height for the lower body, this exercise also elongates the spine as you are hang upside down with gravity force.

The longer you hang, the greater will be the results.

In fact, Inversion is considered as the ultimate Stretching exercise for increasing height naturally.

Perform the Workout at least 3 times a week to make legs longer. Other wise, even every day is fine. Once completed, kicking your legs will enable your knee cartilage to grow. 3 times a week with as may hours as you can afford will do but the longer the better.

Using Ankle Weights

Adjustable Ankle Weights will lengthen the legs through stretching and lengthening the cartilage between your knees. It may also lengthen the shin bones if used immediately after sprinting or jogging since sprinting/jogging creates micro-fractures and ankle weights can elongate the fractures which leads to bone lengthening as the micro fractures heal.

so, it’s another great method if you wonder how to grow your shin. The downside of this exercise is the numbness in the feet which may prevent you from sticking them on for long thus constantly massaging the feet every couple of minutes is required to keep blood flowing into the feet.

That’s the reason why it’s not easy to do this exercise while sleeping at night. Thus it’s recommended to do it during day. Sit on a high chair or lay on a bed high enough to allow the feet hang freely and use an Ankle weight fastener to add weights to your ankle.

Start with small weights and gradually increase as you progress, stretching your legs down freely with the weights. Someone sent me this message after registering some success with ankle weights……

“After 3 weeks of ankle weights routine, i gained 2mm in knee caps. 1hr in morning and 1hr before sleep is what i did.”
