BlueSoul Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 Is it true that doing too much sit ups can alter your height? Because just now I discovered that sit ups are considered to be dangerous and ineffective.

Because just now I discovered that sit ups are considered to be dangerous and ineffective. Doing too many sit-up cannot alter your height as far as I know. Sounds pretty improbable to me, based on human physiology TBH. Any exercise can be dangerous if done incorrectly. I used to do sit-ups in the Army every day, it was effective and I don't have any back problems. It's considered ineffective when compared to the best results to minimum risk ratio. They do work and any exercise can be risky if you don't do it correctly... so take it for what it's worth.

Because just now I discovered that sit ups are considered to be dangerous and ineffective. Too much of anything is bad. Dude, you are OBSESSED with your height. Get over it. We've said it all before - there are more important things in life, don't waste your best years worrying about an unchangeable fact. Being tall isn't going to improve anything if you don't have a good personality or a good attitude.

I find this hard to believe.
This_Too_Shall_Pass Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 That may be a good exercise for BlueSoul's brain. I can see him reading that over, a few times. Hey, it's all in jest, BlueSoul. (But I'm still serious about your height obsession.)
Green Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 Look Im a very tall man, when I go to a party im often the tallest guy there. Heck Im usualy alwayst the tallest every where I go. Girls consistantly say stuff like your really tall. Tallness is great but it does have its draw backs. Like in cars even at the farthest position back I have to tilt the seat back and its still not far enough back and my legs have to bend uncomfortably (imagine having to drive every where with ur legs bent) then when Im at red lights and stuff because my head is so close to the roof of the car and im so far back I have to lean foward to see what collor the light is so I know when it turns green. Some times when Im in a hurry I can hit my head on archways and I have to be really careful going down stairs not to hit my head on pipes or arches that most people are to short for. Im alot hungrier then most people Im a really slender guy but it costs a fortune to fill me up Im non stop hungry. You have alot of weight to carry when your tall too like at anything below 180 I look too skiny, dont actualy look normal till im over 200 which I havent been for a while (need to work out more) Peeing is a pane I hate it when they make urinals low to the ground the angle cause back spray.

Quoted for truth. Being tall isn't perfect by any means.
