EXERCISES IN LENGTHENING PILATES & STRENGTH WORKOUT – YOUTUBE VIDEOS
These exercise breakdowns are to help you learn each exercise, develop good posture, and become more knowledgeable about the exercises you’re performing. You can go through the breakdown of each exercise as many times as you’d like. I do recommend doing each exercise breakdown at least once to develop a better understanding of the workout. Even if you’re familiar with the exercise, it’s always helpful to review.

MAKING FITNESS FUN!
Do you wish you were taller or looked taller? It is actually possible to appear taller by lengthening your body through stretching and training your muscles, holding your body with good posture, and achieving your ideal body weight (your goal body weight and measurements achieved through a plant-based diet and working out over a consistent period of time). Each of these help with looking taller, and all three combined together can give someone the appearance of growing an inch to a few inches.
This workout is filled with exercises that promote lengthening your body and strengthening to assist with good posture.
