Best Ways To Improve Your Vertical Jump

By Marc Jones


When you must try out for a certain position on a sports team or if you are preparing to take part in a sporting competition that needs high vertical jumps, you will need to join in vertical jump exercises so as to achieve a high vertical leap that stands out from your competitors.

If you would like to be successful at the vertical jump exercises, you will have to practice at least 3 times per week and you can do the exercises in your backyard, at a public park or at an empty track and field stadium, and if you get put off infrequently, have a friend exercise with you.

Aerobics Exercises

One of the best vertical leap exercises is aerobics exercises and the pleasant news is that there are a few kinds of aerobics exercises to choose from such as kickboxing, boxing, jumping jacks, step machine aerobics, jump-ropes, hopscotch or just by playing basketball. If you're practicing for a track meet, you can get a medium-height bar to leap over while practicing your running abilities. Walking is a pricey jump exercise as it reinforces your leg muscles.

Leg Lifts

These vertical leap exercises are excellent for improving your jumps and you need to do ten to 15 of them a day. The best leg lifting exercises are those that focus basically on your hamstrings, biceps, and calves. If you are unsure about the correct way to do leg lifts, you can read books on the subject.

Plyometric Exercises

In plyometric exercises, you are contracting your muscles inside a brief period of time by doing a certain action frequently. 2 convincing examples of plyometric exercises are hopscotch and jumping rope but if you like more hazards in exercising, you perform plyometric exercises by placing 1 to 2 boxes on the floor and squatting before hopping onto the box. You must do plyometric exercises 2 times a week.

Diet is Also Critical

If you spend a lot of time eating junk food, fast food, sweet snacks and refined white flour products, then, your jump will not improve. The reason for this is that in addition to the jump exercises, you must also eat foods that are high in minerals and vitamins but low-calorie. It is mandatory to always look especially for metabolism-boosting foods such as healthy soups with spicy peppers, fruits and vegetables as well as lean proteins like chicken and turkey.

Squats

Doing squats is excellent for improving your jump as it buttress your bum, back section of legs and back muscles. You can do about 15 squats a day and if you do this for two weeks, your jump should improve.
