How To Make Your Vertical Jump Easier

Everyone who plays basketball (and some who don’t) want to increase their vertical jumping skills. It takes some training and hard work to get more lift off your feet, but with a few simple tips, anyone can get more distance in their jump.

First you should measure how far you can jump as of now. Make a mark on a wall where your highest jump reaches. Keep track as your jump improves. But don’t get frustrated, as your jump wont increase over night.

You need to train the proper muscles to get the most power in your jump. Before training, stretch properly and warm-up before so you don’t injure yourself. Running up and down stairs is a great warm-up for vertical jumping.

Deep knee bends and lunges are great for building your jumping muscles. Do 30 reps each, and over time increase the amount of reps. Over time increase the difficulty by holding weights in your hands.

Jumping rope also helps develop those jumping muscles. Don’t overwork your muscles though. Exercise no more than 5 times a week, because your muscles need time to regenerate.
