Leg Lengthening Exercises - Kicking
Posted by How To Grow Taller Fast on 07:28 with No comments
Repeated
kicking helps lengthen the shin and thigh bone.
Ever notice
how kick-boxers have longer than average legs? It's the same principle as far
as
baseball
pitchers too. Pitchers usually have a pitching arm that is 1-2 inches (2-5 cm)
longer
than their
other arm. Same principle. Repetitive stress forces the bones to lengthen due
to the stress.
There are
only 2 kicks you will have to do in this program:
Kick # 1 -
Front Snap Kick
The first
kick is the basic front snap kick. It's very simple.
Keep both
feet facing forward in a comfortable position, with a slight bend to the knees
for
balance.
Raise your knee until the thigh is perpendicular to the floor. While doing
this, the ankle should be
flexed downwards and your toe should be pointed towards the floor. Next,
quickly snap your foot
outward with your toe pointing outward. Once that is done, quickly return your
toe to it's previous
downward pointing position and lower the foot onto the ground. That is one repetition.
The kick will
be quick. It doesn't matter how high off the ground you kick - our focus here
is
simply on
executing the quick snapping motion of the lower leg.
Each kick
will last approximately than 1 second. Perform 20 kicks per leg then switch to
the other leg and
repeat. That is 1 set. Rest for 1 minute between sets then repeat the process
again for a total of 3
sets.
Kick # 2 -
Straight Leg Kick
The second
kick is a straight leg kick. The best way to explain this is to pretend that
you are punting a ball. Keep both
feet facing forward in a comfortable position, with a slight bend to the knees
for balance.
Unlike the snap kick, you will NOT bend your knees while performing this kick.
Keeping your leg
straight, raise your leg quickly as if you were punting an imaginary ball.
Raise your leg as high as
possible with your toe pointing outward and upward. I find it helpful to
imagine that there is a
target in front of me at about eye level that I am trying to kick with my foot.
Quickly lower your
leg to starting position and place your foot on the floor. That is one
repetition.
Once again,
the kick will be quick. Your goal is to keep your leg perfectly straight and
kick as high as
possible. Each kick will last approximately 1.5 seconds.
Perform 10
kicks per leg then switch to the other leg and repeat. Rest for 1 minute
between sets then repeat
the process again for a total of 3 sets.
Perform 3
sets of both kicks each day (6 days/week). Shoes are optional.
