Of all the tips there are available for athletes working on their vertical jump, there are few which are readily available free of charge.
Most of these exercises have been compiled into programs and copyrighted which are sold internationally in bookstores and online.
Some free, widely renown and praised exercises for increasing your vert are described below.
First is the deep-knee-bend.
Whilst standing, slowly bend at the knees while keeping your back straight.
The deep-knee-bend jump is a related exercise, which varies only in that the bend is faster, comes closer to the ground and should end with a quick, explosive jump back to the starting standing position.
The second exercise is the toe-raise series.
Begin again by standing, slowly raising yourself on your toes and continuing in a rocking motion.
This is the standard toe-raise.
The toe-raise with weights is a slight variation, where a pair of weights should be held or worn simultaneously.
Thirdly, the old-school stomach crunch.
However, this simple exercise is commonly misused by lack of attention to the use of ab muscles and the importance of having a straight back throughout the movement.
The last exercise is jumping rope.
All exercises must be done in repetitive sets on a regular basis.
In conclusion if you want to jump higher you have to work at it almost everyday, but you want to remember to rest as well.
You also have to give your body adequate time to recover.
In addition jump training is a total body activity.
Make sure to include you upper body, especially your arms for the swinging motion you use to gain momentum into the air, as well as your core, and lower body in your work out routine.
