You already know that in order to train your body how to get taller naturally, you should be implementing stretching exercises to increase height. If you haven’t already, you should review the first two posts detailing how to get taller naturally with the more foundational exercises:

How to Be Taller Using Stretching Exercises
So far, your stretching schedule has only taken about a maximum of 30 minutes per session. At two sessions per day (one immediately after waking in the morning and one immediately before bed), you’ve only devoted about an hour per day to stretching.
Now you’re going to have to add to that a bit.
What? You didn’t think that the program got easier as we went along did you? 
So, in addition to the stretching routine that you’re already doing (in the links above) add these exercises to your routine:
Stationary Bar Twists
Stand and hold a stick or PVC pipe cut to roughly 30” long straight over your head. Your hands should be at the very ends of the stick. Twist to your left and then to your right, feeling the stretching motion going both ways. You should be doing the motion slow enough to feel the stretch, but fast enough so that you are carrying your momentum over to the next side when you alternate. Hold each side for about 3 seconds for a total of 20 intervals for each side.
Advanced Neck Stretch
Kneel down on the floor on both knees. Keep your body straight and your hands down at either side of your body. Slowly and safely nod your head forward so that your chin rests on your chest. Keeping the rest of your body perfectly still, bring your head back so that you are looking at the ceiling. As you perform this motion, arch your spine in as far as you comfortably can. Perform 10 repetitions, with each lasting about 7 seconds.
Praying Stretches
While still on your knees, stretch your arms up and place your palms flat against each other. Arching your back, lean your head and arms backwards as far as you can while maintaining stability. Perform 10 repetitions with each lasting about 7 seconds.
Gymnast Stretch
Lie flat on your back and bring your hands next to your head with your palms flat on the floor. Using your feet and hands, push your body up so that you create an arch with only your feet and hands touching the ground. You’re going to raise your self up as high as possible, fully stretching your back. Each repetition should last about 8 seconds. Perform 10 repetitions.
Single Leg Backward Leg Lifts
Roll over onto your stomach and clasp your hands behind your neck. Slowly lift one of your legs up, keeping it straight, as far as you can. Hold it for three seconds and let it slowly descend to the floor. Repeat with the other leg. Perform 10 repetitions with each leg.
Double Leg Backward Leg Lifts
Remain face down on the floor. Place your hands down at your sides where you can use them for stability. Raise both legs up simultaneously as far as you can, feeling the arching motion in your lower back. Hold for 3 seconds. Repeat 10 times.
Bowl Stretches
Remain face down on the floor. Extend your arms straight in front of you as if you were mimicking Superman as he flies through the air. Now raise both your arms and legs upwards simultaneously as far as you can. Hold for 3 seconds per repetition and perform 10 repetitions.
Downhill Skier Stretches
Stand up with your feet together. Slowly bend at the waist downward as far as possible while simultaneously bringing your arms up behind you as if you were skiing downhill. Be sure to keep your arms as straight as possible throughout the entire motion. Perform 10 repetitions with each repetition lasting about 5 seconds.
Downhill Skier Stretches II
Remain standing but extend your feet about 3 feet apart in a wide stance. Raise your arms straight over your head and bend forward at the waist. Throughout the movement, your arms should be extended so that when you are all the way bent over, they should reach between your legs and become parallel to the floor. Perform 10 repetitions with each lasting about 5 seconds.
