How to Jump Higher – Jumping Exercises
I’ve always wanted to know How to jump higher. And if you’re like me – you probably do too. I’m going to give you 2 jumping exercises that can give you a small boost in your vertical. The first one is deep knee bends. Basically it’s how it sounds. Bend down slowly with a very slight arch in your back. Typically you want to go as low as you can, but anything lower than 90 degrees is suitable until you build up the flexibility. From the crouched position, you want to explode vertically as high as you can go. Start with 15, and work your way up to 30. Put a mark on a wall for your weekly progress. Toe raises are another one of my favorites. This is also self explanatory. Basically your going to start from a flat footed position and raise to your toes as slowly and as stable as possible – without rocking. You can also do these exercises with weights once you reach a certain point.
