so, I am now starting pilates as I heard it is great for increasing height and strenghthining overall muscle tone


The idea came to me when a girl i was hooking up with commented on how I had no stomach, I am fit, but I seriously do not have an average looking stomach, it goes almost straight from waist to upper body,

My other girl friend was also telling me about how after doing Pilates she felt a lot taller

I did my research and found some inspiring quotes and success stories

from http://www.nexuspub.com/journeys/pilates.htm

----“The Pilates method is based on the band of muscles that encircle your lower abdomen,” says Siler. “These are your center and stabilizing core. When you use the muscles of the lower abdomen and those in the pelvis, it gives you a strong core to support the spine, as well as a longer, lean torso with room for the organs. Good technique may even add an inch or so of height as the rib cage moves to its proper position away from the hip.” The practice of hunching over a keyboard not only contributes to poor muscle tone and loss of height, but is the main culprit in back pain and slipped disks, which Siler claims can be remedied though Pilates training.


This seems to be exactly my problem as I am often on the computer for school or recreation and I have been since I was a freshamn in high school

“Q./ Will I grow by doing STOTT PILATES?
Much of pilates exercise is mind-body conditioning which requires you
to look within, focus on your breathing, and feel the subtle
differences within your body. Many people come to a very meditative
state while doing pilates, and therefore will grow mentally and
spiritually over time through this type of exercise. There are also
incidences where by strenghening the abdominal muscles people have
learned to maintain their stretch and thereby are measurably taller.

Physically, many people have been known to actually get taller by
working out consistently. By emphasizing posture, you learn to stretch
your spine through pilates, and by strengthening the deep abdominals
to support the rest of the body you learn to maintain your height
effortlessly. The most impressive results are those reported by people
who have slouched most of their lives and after a few months of
practicing pilates they are able to stand up much straighter, and are
therefore measurably taller. However, even people having studied dance
consistently for years before beginning a pilates program, have
noticed an increase in their heights over time.”




I hope you have found this information helpful.

Standard, I'm not spendind no money on Pilates, I got the stretching journal free, I'll just dowlnoad Pilates off Limewire or BitTorrent.

In the end of the Washington Post Article there was a statement that confused me if pilates can help you grow taller: "Once a Pilates student has mastered that exercise, he or she will begin to look, feel and act -- but not actually become -- taller."

Anyways, can you tell me a free site pertaining to pilates to download.

use a p2p program such as ares, limewire, or whatever,...search pilates, download the video, there are some great 20 min workouts you can do in your room in the morning, so far i have done winsor pilates abs and advanced body sculpting

can pilates make you grow or is it just one of those scams? Can you tell me a site where I can download it from?

read the article
