If i don't exercise regularly do i stunt my growth?

Not necessarily: It is well known that regular exercise can maximize a persons growth and overall health. Sometimes a busy lifestyle contains a lot of activity that helps anyway, while those that are "couch potatoes" are most likely to have negative effects.If you don't reach the height you expect, you will always wonder if this was the cause.
