How Forward Lunges Helps You Grow Taller

Lunges create unilateral loading on your legs, which uniquely stimulates bone growth through varied stress patterns. The single-leg stance also challenges your balance, activating core and stabilizer muscles that support good posture. The stretching component of lunges (especially in the hip flexors) helps prevent anterior pelvic tilt, a posture issue that can reduce height. The combination of strength and flexibility makes lunges ideal for maximizing your growth potential.
