A lot of people out there would love to be just that little bit taller - I'll admit it, myselfincluded. There's no surgical solution (yet), but what if I told you there are someexercise tricks that give the illusion of a few extra centimetres of height? And no - I'mnot talking about a pair of heels.
These are training techniques I've been using on my male and female celebrity clientsfor years, especially in the lead-up to fashion shows. Don't expect results overnight,but once you get there, they're great. Plus, the exercises are easy and anyone can dothem. The number one rule for a harmonious body is to never overdoanything. Proper training shows when you look at someone and you can't pinpointwhy, but they just look amazing. Read on for my body-elongating tricks.

Trick 1Reduce the size of your inner thighs. The bigger the inner thighs, the shorter you lookfrom a distance. The key here is to not use weights, but your own body weightinstead. And never, ever squat. I know there's a huge movement out there aroundsquatting but that's not the way to reduce the size of your inner thighs. Instead,walking long distances is a great one: start with one hour and build up from there. Isuggest you avoid steps and hills. Another great exercise is to do star jumps for fiveminutes.
Trick 2Don't over-exercise your biceps. The bigger the biceps, the shorter you'll look. Guysare the biggest offenders here, but a few girls also. The solution is to exercise yourarms without doing too many bicep curls. A plank with your arms extended is a greatalternative. Start by holding for one minute and try to add 20 seconds every week.

Trick 3I would say this is my most important tip: don't over-exercise your trapezius muscle.
You see a lot of guys that have made this mistake, and the result? No neck. Not a
good look. Avoid exercises like shrugging and upright rowing and instead try
exercises that create a harmonious body, such as push ups, chin ups and dance
movements. Start with 10 push ups a day and build yourself up to 100 a day. Push
ups are the cheapest and easiest exercises to do. Okay - maybe they're not the easiest
the first time around, but the results are worth it.
