Jumping Exericses

9:04 am June 28, 2009

Jumping higher is key to winning any sport that favors tall people. You don’t have to be born tall to be a great athlete, you just have to be able to jump higher than they can jump. If you learn how to jump higher you will be a great teammate for any team.

What are some good workouts to increase vertical jump?

Let’s start by understanding that you need sufficient leg strength before you should start doing any sort of plyometric program.

Once your legs are strong enough then you can start a jumping program.

The first exercise we will look at will be squat jumps. You simply squat down and then explode up from the squatted position and jump as high as you can. You want to get the most height that you can on every jump and for that reason you will only do about 8 reps so that you can work on max height instead of endurance.

Second, we will focus on doing the calves, because they are very important with jumping exercises. You will do calf raises on a step also going for speed rather than shear number of reps. You don’t want to train endurance once again.

Last we will hit the stomach, you need to have a strong core because all the weight must transfer from the legs through the core to make you jump higher.

Crunches are a great way to train the top of the stomach. For the lower stomach you need to do leg lifts.
