Hanging – plain and simple as it sounds. All you need for this exercise is a bar and probably even a hinge. Like a monkey hanging on the tree, you hang onto the bar. It is recommended that you do this exercise 25 minutes per week, do your own math and divide the 25 minutes equally into 4 sessions that spread evenly throughout the week. Each time you hang onto the bar, do it for about a minute, then stop for a while and repeat it again for another minute and so on. For men who wish to get a sexy “v” shape body, do try using bars with wider grips.

Super Stretch – Our choice exercise! Simply by standing up straight and raising your hands as high up as you possibly can, then lock in that position for as long as you can, generally the longer you can hold the better it is, but try to hold it for more than 15 seconds. The benefit of this exercise is not limited to height gain only, but this exercise also helps you to avoid back pain and shoulder pain as you age. Super stretch is the mirror version of wall stretch exercise which you will find in the main list.

The Down Hill – To do this, first stand up straight, joint both your hands together at the back and lock them straight , next, slowly bend forward until the maximal angle you can reach, then try pull your hands to tilt forward as you hold your forward bend position. Remember try your best not to let both hands separate from each other in the process of tilting forward. Once your hands are tilted to the maximum, hold the entire position for 3 to 5 seconds, optimally, you should not hold that position for longer than 20 seconds, because it can hurt your lower back, neck and shoulders if forced.

The Cobra stretch – A maneuver that yields great results, not only you get to stretch your spine, but also strengthen back muscles that support the spine, a very potent way to prevent future back pain. Nothing too complicated, first lie flat on the ground on your belly then slowly push your torso upward with your hands while keeping both legs flat on the ground. The limit is reached when you feel your buttocks tighten up, hold the position for approximately 10 to 15 seconds then slowly lower your torso back to the ground. If you look up the main list you can find the exercise known as Super Cobra, you may continue into doing that after you finish this basic Cobra stretch.

Cat stretch – kneel down with your buttocks sitting on your legs, then stretch your hands fully forward as far as you can and lock the position. Once you are ready, start alleviating your buttocks away from the legs and push as far forward as you can, pretend that an imaginary string is pulling you forward and you are trying to hold your position. Once you reach the maximum stretch, try holding the position for 5 to 10 seconds.
