A member asked:

Iam 25 years old and my height is 161cm. are there any exercises to increase height now?

No: You are as tall as you will get. Learn to accept yourself for who you are and others will do the same.

No: Men stop growing between age 17 and 21. Once the growth plates of the bones close (within that age range) then it is impossible to grow any further.
