How to Increase Your Verticle Leap
In this post, you will know the secrets which show how to increase your verticle leap effectively. But you must remember one thing that this is not a magic. Also, there are no shortcuts. Only through hard work combined with guts and determination can you achieve the higher verticle leap. For the record, this is my all time favorite coaching program.
The tips to increase verticle leap are:
1. It is recommended to start your workout by warming up your muscles and then doing extensive leg stretches.
2. Practice skipping rope at least for 15 – 30 minutes. This will improve your cardiovascular muscles.
3. Include sprints in your work out programs. This will aid in building your muscles.
4. Now, run stairs on your toes. You can begin with one step at a time by running up a flight. Walk down and run back up, taking two steps at a time. Try to repeat as many times as you can manage.
5. Practice sets of elevated jumps (Given below).
6. Practice sets of explosive jumps (Given below).
7. Practice sets of double jumps (Given below).
Elevated jumps:
1. First, place a step bench or platform on the ground. You can find one in health clubs.
2. Then stand on the platform and jump backward onto the ground. Focus on landing softly.
3. Jump back onto the platform immediately, with a bouncing motion.
4. Complete three sets of 10 repetitions. You can ask a trainer for help regarding this practice.
Explosive leg jumps:
1. First, place yourself in front of a safe platform and put your right foot on it.
2. Now jump as high as you can, and focus on exploding off the right leg. Cross your legs once in the air, then land. Here, your left foot must be on the platform and your right foot on the floor.
3. Jump upward again, but this time off the left foot.
4. Do three sets of 10 repetitions, resting for about 30 seconds to 1 minute between sets.
Double jumps:
1. Jump as high as possible with both feet from a stationary position.
2. Once you land onto the ground, immediately jump again using less effort.
3. Do three sets of 10 repetitions each.
