Nothing, as your height is determined by your genes

I don't think there is a magic cure to make yourself taller! I guess, you could practise your ability to stand tall with stretches, so your muscles are nice and extended when you play. Apart from that, you could try some miracle grow, but unless you are some modification on a human, and have evolved into a plant, i think we can safely say that you aren't going to sprout up!
However, you are only 14, so you may still grow! =D All the best friendo!

There are no exercises to get taller. You are only 14, so you should keep growing even into your early 20's. Just be patient.

i don't know that any exercises can make you taller/
however there are pilaties tapes out there. like the windsor ones. that claim that they make your muscles long and lean, which gives the appearance of being taller.
or yoga... anything that stretches you out instead of building you up...
but since you are so yound and already 5'10, i don't ghink you have anything to worry about.
most full grown men are that hieght, if not less.
keep eating right, and do drink your milk, it does a body good....

I'm sorry, but there is no exercise you can do to make yourself taller. That is predetermined by genetics. All you can do is take your vitamins and eat right to prevent stunting your growth. Oh, and stay away from drugs.

Eat lots of veggies and fruits. It is pretty much what your parents genes have and not food. Drink milk or eat yogurt too.

I know what NOT to do if you want to get taller. Don't carry weights standing up.

at your age you are set for some future growth spurts but there is nothing you can really do to make yourself taller (except wearing really tall shoes!)
