How To Jump Higher Exercises

Perform these exercises 3 - 5 times a week.

Warm up first. This is always a must. As stated previously, warming up consists of doing stretches, a couple minutes of jogging and of course rope jumping. Also run up and down the stairs for a while. Don't do this too much as you might wear your legs down even before beginning the exercise!.

These exercises are slightly similar to the elevated, explosive and double jumps but remember, there should be a variety in exercises because once your muscles get used to a particular set of exercise, it stops responding and you must stimulate your muscles response using a different set. So i suggest you rotate similar exercises every 2 weeks.

1. Stand firmly. Bend slowly while keeping your back straight. Continue bending as low as you can, then slowly rise back up. Do this 20 times and increase over time.

2. Do the same as above, but crouch down more quickly to the point where your bottom almost touches the ground, then explode upwards as high as you can. The second you land, immediately crouch and launch back up again. Do this 20 times, and increase over time.
