Learn How to Add 10 Inches To Your Vertical Jump

Doing jumping exercises continuously for seven days a week is not a excellent thought. You will want to train three to four times a week. You do not want to burn your muscles out so I would not recommend training daily. Results will not come in a couple days, you need to work at it constantly to get the results you desire. Increasing vertical jump exercises are such a excellent way to become healthy and increase your leaping ability.

Before getting into your training make sure to stretch and do a light warm up. Stretch properly and do some jogging for a few minutes. You can also do jumping rope if you have a jump rope for the warm up. This will get your body warm before you start training. Doing some stair runs is another fantastic way to get loose and equipped for your workout. Once your stretching and warm up exercises are done you can go onto your workout.

To jump higher, these jumping exercises are brilliant: First is deep knee bending. This is performed standing and slowly bending the knees while maintaining the straightness of your back. You want to bend down in a controlled manner and then stand back up in a slow fashion as well. You can do this for a minimum of 15 times and just gradually increase to 20 or 30, etc.

Second is jumping in deep-knee bend. Bend down deeply as quickly as you can and then jump as high as possible. Do this continuously for 15 times and then increase the count to 20 and so on when you can. Now rise up onto your toes. To do this drill you want to keep your legs straight and raise up onto your toes and then back down. Go 20 to 35 repetitions of this drill. If you have weights (5 to 10 pounds), you can hold them while doing this exercise. These exercises are excellent for increasing vertical jump and can help you become perfectly fit and healthy if done consistently.
