This is what my recommendation is.\n\nGood food and Stretching exercises.\n\nI have an article on this subject please read it and understand it.\n*********************************************************************\nIncreasing the Height \nBy \nminootoo\n\n\n\nYou did not say how old you are. But you are under 18 years of age.\n\nIn rear cases, you can increase the height up to age 30.\n\nYou said you have been Cycling. That is a good exercise and fun too.\n\nYou need to adjust the seat so that when you paddle from seating position you will actually stretch your legs, it is a difficult position but doable. For safety you need to be on track and not in traffic, safety first.\n\nThe FEW things I did at least helped me.\n\nSwimming. \n\nNot just playing in water, but serious laps type swimming, do not try to beat the clock but steady full strokes swimming. Remember slow and steady wins the race.\n\nStretching exercises on floor.\n\nFind them on line.\n\nChin ups.\n\nFull stretch type.\n\nSwinging from a rope.\n\nFull stretch climbing.\n\nIn other words do things that require stanching.\nSTRETCH-STRETCH-STRETCH-STRETCH\n\nPS\n\nIn the morning after good night sleep every one is about 1/2 inch to 1 inch taller. This is because the soft tissue between the bones recovers during the time when there is no weight on them.\n\nOlder people loose height due to bone loss. I was 5', 7'' I am only 5', 5".\n\nIssue of Genes: \n\nYou know only the active genes but genes can stay dormant for generations.\n\nI believe that every one has some tall height genes, dormant or active; I again believe that certain exercises can activate those.\n\nAgain Swimming: \n\nYou will start out with half a lap and build up day by day, half a lap at a time. Then you will swim non stop for 1/2 an hour.\n\nThe speed is not important but you must use various strokes and do them correctly, completely, slowly and perfectly. This way you will have full stretch, and its benefit.

yes they would but you should only use under the supervision of a medical provider.  try elevating your feet whenever possible, especially when travelling for an extended period of time.  also, limit sodium intake and become knowledgeable of foods that contain a high amount of sodium

Filipino,22,female, middle class.Sit ups in am and pm! Swimming is best for flattening stomach butt lifting and firming(legs, thighs, waist too!)Without tension on your legs and lower back becasue there's a little gravity on the water. Hope this help!

A lot more than most exercise. Swimming requires you to be able to balance yourself in a certain position while in the water. In order to balance your body utilizes a lot of small, core muscles in your midsection to keep balanced. Other than these small muscles, your forward propulsion is generated from your upper body and your legs also help with balance and propulsion. In other words, your whole body.

yes swimming is a great way to lose weight. its a cardio work out which is one of the quickest ways to lose, and it builds muscle tone at the same time.

Lifting weights does NOT affect your height.  Anyone who tells you it does is going on old school beliefs.  In the '50's people thought lifting weights made you bulky and slow and told athletes NOt to do it.  That is obviously wrong.  That same time is when people were told lifting weights could affect your height.  They were wrong about that one too.  Anyone up to date on research knows weightlifting is healthy.  PERIOD.  THe biggest tip I can give you, however, is stability must precede strength.  So... Stay away from machines, start with DB's, do squats on a Bosu ball, Push-ups off a swiss ball.  This work strengthens the small muscles that stabliize a joint and keep you "in the groove" when lifting.  Do a weeks of this type of work every couple months, it will keep you healthy.

Well, this is a no and yes question.\n\nAs far as increasing height, that is a big no.  Height is predetermined by genetics, diet and hormones.  With hormones, I'm speaking of growth hormone not adrenaline. If you seriously wanted to know tall you are going to grow, you can actually go to a bone specialist.  What they would do is measure the spacing in your joints to give you a good estimation of what your height will eventually be.\n\nWith the body weight, swimming is the best exercise for all the muscle groups in your body.  It is a great way to stay in shape and burn a lot of calories.  What eventually happens is that you start to burn fat in exchange for building muscle.  Muscle weighs more than fat.  That's where you get the weight gain from.  But don't worry! This is a healthy weight gain, so keep it up!\n\nSo in summary, big "NO" to the height.  "Yes" to the weight gain.

No. As a swimmer I can tell you that swimming lessons may help you learn to swim but unless you take extra time after swim lessons to swim more you won't do much.  Swimming is great for toning.   Try jogging slow long distances to lose the fat and crunches and other stomach excercise to define.  Swimming on top of that is icing on the cake but only the butterfly stroke/kick works the abs much so get a kick board.

Soaring over a 6'6" adult may be a stretch for just about anyone, but there is one secret I learned to improving vertical leap: practice jumping in a swimming pool.  The resistance helps improve your vertical leap distance.  Add that to general weight training, and be sure to allow enough time for recovery -- up to 72 hours between strenuous weight-bearing workouts, and you will add some inches to your vertical by the end of the year.

if you can, get a med ball that weighs six or eight pounds. look online for exercises that will work your shoulders and your abs. working your shoulders will improve your freestyle, since your arms will be strong enough to sustain a good posture for a longer time and a good core will keep your body in a streamlined position while swimming. it will also help with flipturns.

no.  However, safety in numbers, hopefully you know how to swim, always obey posted signs and always obey the life guard.  Swimmers ability is always a factor but should not be the only factor.
