    I've reached my height goal! Really just working on maintaining at this point. It's challenging, but I'm fairly confident that I can do it :smile:

    I try to hang upside down by my ankles 4 hrs a day and only wear 8" heels.

    Am I wearing too many inches?

    I don't need to gain serious height though some silly height would be nice but with all these resolutioners around not really committed to height gains I am getting frustrated.


    Not that I am serious height shaming or wanting to selectively add height.

    According to my calculations, I need to gain 8 inches... it just feels like an insurmountable number :(

    Have you tried asking your beachbody coach?

    I do.

    You should avoid squats because putting weight on your back compresses your spine and favor round-backed deadlifts with light weight (so you don't hurt yourself!) 5x25 and superset the RBDLs with chin-up bar full extension hangs with a weight belt- 3x5minutes.

    Can I spot reduce my height? I'd like to lose an inch or two from my legs and add it to my torso. Just trying to achieve a more "balanced" look.

    I'm tallish for a girl 5'9". I ate a lot of zucchini icecream and did a lot of detoxing and boom woke up tall.
