Nope sorry. You are not a dwarf you are petite. Don't worry though, you will grow more. I have been 5'2 since 16 and the only problem I have is watching my weight as I get older. \nNo one will discredit you because you are short. I know a highly respected doctor who is 5'2 male and a wonderful person. Lots of friends and beautiful wife. \nI'm not so bad looking myself and I have a professional career and many friends and loving husband. My 8 year old is almost as tall as me,but who cares. \nYou are as beautiful or handsome as you feel. Just let nature do its job and eat healthy and you will be fine. :)

IM a short person too but in middle school i was in high jump and won first place nearly all the time. My trick is hanging on to weights and jumping up and down until you feel it burn. keep doing that for a while and every day. Or another thing that works is putting  a backpack on with weight in it and walking around with it all day.

You're only 15 and your body is still changing physically.  I would just stick to a regular cardio workout a few times a week just to keep you in shape.

I am a high school sophomore on varsity basketball who can dunk. There are several great programs you can use such as Air Alert and Sole Jumps. However, if you do not want to spend the money, use the plan i have come up with. Being white - lets face it less white guys can dunk - I was frustrated doing jumping exercises that got me no where. SI'mply jumping up and down had limited results. However, I got on a program of doing squats and dead lifts (two weight lifts im sure your high school has) and it improved by vertical by 12 inches. Best of Luck and keep ballin!

Try the fit ball. Go to a class so you can learn more from other people. See link below.\n\nNB It's my favourite exercise

You're not far away. As you get older, you're legs will get stronger. I've seen a few 5'10" players dunk, so it's not only height but also legs.

Sorry, But I have to agree with the others that have answered your question.\n\nHow tall you will be depends on how tall your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents are or were. \n\nUnfortunately there is not an exercise that will make you taller.

You never said how much taller you want to grow?  Your goal of a month is too short. (Excuse the pun, it was intended).\n\nDo stretching exercises.  stand flat footed with both heels touching at all times.  Raise your arms in the air and stretch as far as you can.  Find something that is just out of reach to aim at. You will find that you will be able to reach that object soon. When you do so, find another target.\n\nGood luck

When I was 18, I was 5'10" and could stuff.  Get ankle weights (or duct tape some weight on).  You will absolutely "fly" in a month.  I had a 40" vertical.

well tall i don't know about. It depends on your age - if your above twenty you'll probably have stopped your growth development. Its easy to lose weight however. A common misconception is that exercise helps you lose weight. Yes....maybe it does but not on its own. The way i did it was to have two bowls of cereal a day in place of breakfast and lunch and eat a sensible high protein meal for tea. And have a little something special in front of the tv but i recommend something delicious like a fruit express from del monte....mmmmm

Practice with ankle weights. When you take them off, you'll be able to jump a lil higher because it will help tone your legs better. Don't worry about it too much though, you'll hit a growth spurt in a couple years and get taller anyway. It's never too early to practice and keep in shape though. Just don't go overboard with it.

First of all hi you sound awesome I'm about to be a senior and had similar dreams and everybody told me I couldn't do it because i was only 6'2 and white well just last summer I was the first Highschool kid from my school to enter in a dunk contest at a college that we were at camp for and I won the second round now I can dunk it easy with two hands.\nI can even three sixty but heres the kicker jump soles won't do squat maybe two inches at most!!!!! Trust me I have two pairs!!! They do nothing simply because contrary to popular belief jumping doesn't come from the calves it comes from your upper thighs don't believe me try this stand with your feet together and try jumping straight up but you can't bend your legs at all. Then bend your knees and allow your thights to pitch in how high did you get then you see what I mean so anyways the big secret to getting good hops is sqats and just plain old jumping try squatting and then jumping straight up about fifty sixty times a night every other day and then slowly begin to add more jumps each week stand under the net it will help motivate you to keep going cause youll want to get to yhe rim.. By the way smart move to stay away from ankle waits there extremely bad for you knee tendons and ligaments they'll stretch them Any ways you can do it I mean your already half way there so good luck!!!!! If you ever need advice or questions or encouragement just email me at bubbachillinintheeclipse@yahoo.com otherwise good luck you can do it.
