Ways to Jump Higher - Some Rediculously Simple Ways To Jump Higher!


Looking for new ways to jump higher ??








These simple methods may be some you have heard often. Remember they will ONLY work if you actually take the time to practice them!




Increasing your vertical takes strong calf muscles, very strong leg muscles, in fact. Before you do anything , make sure you stretch those muscles good... before and after any jump workouts. It will help heal the stretched muscles more quickly and make them stronger.



Now for some really simple calf workouts that are known to help in jumping higher....




You will start by doing at least 30 calf raises per day. You might want to try and add some weight to this, so wear a book bag with weight in it to get better results.... Adjust the weight as you go along and gradually build up to about 50 pounds or so.




If you are already doing calf raises, just add more weight to the book bag or increase the amount you are doing...




This next exercise may sound quite simple, but it is actually better than calf raises for some people. Walk or run on your tip-toes for about 15 - 20 minutes every day and then do the same backwards for about 3 - 5 minutes.



Walk on your heels but do not let the ball of your heel touch the ground. This exercise actually works the dorsi flexors.





Remember that to increase your vertical jump you need to realize that it will not happen overnight. It's just like training another other muscle, it can take some time and work. But in the end it will be worth it trust me, I mean, you were looking for ways to jump higher, right?




There are quite a number of programs available for coaching on increasing your vertical jump and we have a variety of them listed throughout this site. Most of them have free lessons to help you learn ways to jump higher.
