Teenager. Overweight. Exercise To Hit Maximum Height?
Hi, I'm 18 years old and I'm 6'2" and 270 pounds.. You wouldn't know that I'm 270 by my genetics and the way my body carries my weight. I look like I'm 220. Any how the Dr. said that I'd be 6'4" by the time I'm done growing. When will I hit my final growth spurt and how can I hit it faster and naturally? Are their exercises that could help?

Hi,
You are likely to stop growing in the next few years. It is impossible to be more specific. There are no exercises that will make to grow taller any faster. However, it is important that you maintain your health with regular cardio exercises and a healthy diet.
