Big Rob with his 5-minute Height Exercise Routine
These are aimed at helping maintain height as we grow older, improving posture and maximizing your natural standing height via a few simple techniques.
As part of my routine I use the Powerbar Pull-Up Bar:

For each of these movements I repeat them between 3-5 times. It takes in total around 5 minutes.
Tip 1:
Compress and Decompress.
This acts as a way of putting the discs under load, followed by a decompressing effect.
Tip 2:
Rising Star
The slow movement and action helps with developing upper back and shoulder strength.
Tip 3:
Hangman
This takes the principles of the first 2 techniques and raises it up a notch by incorporating a Pull-up Bar.
the 3 simple movements I use with the Pull-Up Bar are:
1. Hanging. If you can't hang, you can 'partially hang'
2. Stretching Skywards. If you can't raise feet off ground, then simply pull yourself up as high as you can so you feel your feet rising up a bit.
I combine both pulling myself up and hanging freely in the 'pull up position'.
3. Flexibility
Adopt a skier's type of position to elongate and curve the back in one direction, then move forwards and backwards to alter the curve.
All these tips I personally use to maintain better disc health. I only spend 5 minutes a day doing them and at age 40 I haven't lost a mm and my natural posture is significantly better than at age 30.
I find these height exercises particularly beneficial because I work at the Computer for maybe 8 hours a day, which isn't ideal.
These height techniques I feel help alleviate any niggling issues I've had.
Keep Walking Tall, like Rob Paul.
