Which kind of exercises a person should not do in gym so as to not have a stunted growth (i wanna increase my height and build m
Hello Yuvraij,
your ultimately height is determined by your genes, and there are no exercises that will impact it one way or the other. There are cases of stunted growth as a result of mal- or rather under-nourishment but I hope that you do not have to be concerned about that.
Having said that, choosing exercises that promote good posture will give the appearance of being taller than you are. I am an advocate of avoiding forward and downward movement of the shoulders. It creates the so-called forward rounded shoulders and is often the result of doing too much bench pressing at the expense of working the upper back.
I am happy that you are engaging on a good exercise routine at a rather young age. A habit of a well-rounded program will be of benefit to you for the rest of your life.

You are referring to an old wives tale or a myth. Weight or resistance training does not stunt your growth. 16 is a great age to start. Just go slow and steady. I would also recommend you start with a good personal trainer that can properly assess your fitness level and help develop a plan for long-term sustained training. Consistency is the key to long-term growth. Good Luck!

Hello Yuvraj Gaur,
Thank you for a great question and interest in your good health.
You will want to avoid what could potentially harm you; so, do not take unnecessary chances like doing a risky move that you are not comfortable performing. Start slowly and work your way up; avoid trying to move something that is too heavy; do not strain yourself. This goes for all aspects of training: strength, cardiovascular and flexibility.
Make sure to listen to your body and use good common sense.
The others give you great advice: find a good health and fitness trainer who can help you get started properly and make sure to not become malnourished with the help of a registered dietitian.
Please check back with us to let us know about your progress.
You may enjoy keeping a log to track your exercise sessions to watch your own progress, also.
Be happy with who you are, smile, and you will be larger than life.
Take care,
Natalie aka NAPS 2 B Fit.
