is it possible to get any taller after you reach the age of 21?

Question

i've grew 2 inches last year from doing yoga - i'm not sure if that helped but now that i'm 22 and i want to grow 2 more inches. i'm currently 5'3 when standing bare foot, can i still get any taller?

Answer 1

yes it is possible, though the chance is pretty low. but always try to think positive, and continue with the yoga. i've been doing yoga for 3 years and it never helped me get any taller, you should consider yourself lucky. lol

p.s thanks for picking my answer as the best! good luck

Answer 2

you do not magically end transforming into on the age of 21. some adult men end a lot in the previous and some later. it actually relies upon on the way you're made up. that's a slow procedue as well, and also you may proceed to augment way previous 21, yet at a slower price, and also you would no longer see a lot progression in a short area of time. merely save staying wholesome and also you may boost.. if no longer, you've the right top for you.

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

Answer 4

I so freakin' wish!. I'm also 5'3 and have been since I was 12 (I'm 27 now). I've just learned to accept it and have found a few advantages of being short (it once got me out of having to take out the trash when there was deep snow outside. My 6'2 brother thought it was unfair lol).

Answer 5

You may get taller if you take something stupid like steroids. But then again 5' 3" is kind of cute and petite as long as your weight is proportional.

Answer 6

You should go to the doctor. There is a bone that connects to your tail bone once your body is done growing. Your doctor can tell you wether or not these 2 bones have fused together yet.

Answer 7

I don't think so. You could have grown the 2 inches because you started standing up straighter.

Answer 8

Sure it is...just not vertically taller..

Check out David Robinson of the Spurs...regarding his growth late in life..

Answer 9

I have a uncle who grew from 6'11 to 7'2 from age 20- 24. It's possible.

Answer 10

I doubt it, I stopped growing when I was 15
