Be Somebody To Emulate: Why Posture Matters

December 6, 2016 By Art of Tall Filed Under: Psychology

tall-posture-effect

...“Every time I see you I feel the urge to stand a little taller with better posture.” This is the second time in the past 2 weeks that someone at work said this to me. Not only did it make me feel great but it reinforced for me that how I’m presenting myself to the world is working. I call this the tall posture effect. I see this "effect" in action quite often, most … [Read more...]

Haters Gonna Hate, I’m Gonna Smile

November 13, 2016 By Art of Tall Filed Under: Psychology

haters-gonna-hate

I don’t know about you but I love haters. Before I go on let me clarify what I mean by haters. I’m referring to those people who, without having gotten to know me, make assumptions about me and gear themselves negatively towards me. I don’t encounter these people very often but when I do they all exhibit the same traits and behaviours. They are the types of people that in a … [Read more...]

5 Giraffe Fun Facts You Didn’t Know

October 30, 2016 By Art of Tall Filed Under: Humour

giraffe

A giraffe in the wild is the equivalent of a really tall person in society. Given that this blog is about all things tall, it wouldn’t be complete without at least one article about the tallest living animal in the world: the giraffe. Not to forget also that the giraffe is the spirit animal for most tall people. Before I started my research for this blog post I thought this … [Read more...]

5 Types of People Every Tall Person Meets

October 16, 2016 By Art of Tall Filed Under: Tall Problems

types-of-people

Being tall we stand out wherever we go - this is a fact of life; one that will not change. We encounter many people throughout the day and what's interesting is that different 'types' of people react differently to our height. In today's blog post I outline the 5 most common types of people that every tall person meets, what a typical interaction with each of these people is … [Read more...]

5 Annoying Things About Being a Tall Woman

October 11, 2016 By Art of Tall Filed Under: Tall Problems

tall-woman-problems

Today I have a special guest post written by a tall woman (my girlfriend, Lana). Lana is a great example of a tall woman embracing her height and not letting it stop her from achieving success with her training. Check out her impressive gravity defying handstands and acrobatic movements on her Instagram page (@upsidedown_lana) to see what I mean! As this blog is about all … [Read more...]

The Truth About Real Lasting Confidence

October 2, 2016 By Art of Tall Filed Under: Psychology

truth-confidence-lion

Truth be told, as a tall person you will attract the attention of people around you wherever you go, even if just for a moment. How you present and carry yourself (i.e. your posture and body language) in this moment will form the basis of what someone thinks about you. If you are slouching and always looking down you will be seen as nervous and lacking in confidence and it will … [Read more...]

How to Break a Plateau by Greasing the Groove

September 25, 2016 By Art of Tall Filed Under: Tall Health

Plateau-Point-Sign

Along our fitness journey we eventually hit a plateau. Whether it’s the amount of weight we can move in a certain lift or the number of perfect form body weight repetitions we perform, progress will eventually stall. Breaking this plateau can be a source of frustration and discouragement. I know about this all too well. My weakness is the pull-up. At the beginning of my … [Read more...]

Common Assumptions Made About Being Tall

September 18, 2016 By Art of Tall Filed Under: Tall Problems

assumptions-ahead-sign

We make assumptions all the time; sometimes we don’t even realise we are making them. When we see something unfamiliar we try to associate it with something we already know. By doing so we form an assumption. This is usually based on our limited knowledge. For example, based on our previous experiences with a certain person, we think we know what they are going to say next. … [Read more...]

Why Are Some Movements Harder For Tall People?

September 11, 2016 By Art of Tall Filed Under: Tall Health

movements-harder-tall-people

Whilst I consider my height to be a blessing, one that gives me an advantage in most sports, I find that when it comes to gym and calisthenics movements my height can be a curse. From a young age I played basketball (I know; I was the stereotypical tall kid) all the way through to my late teens and then took up Tae Kwon Do for 9 years. Later I dabbled in distance running for … [Read more...]
