Ready to take your game to the next level? You're going to need some crazy
jumping ability. Unless you're 7 feet tall, you're going to need to have
explosive leaps and be quick on your feet. There are some simple exercises that
you can do to help increase your vertical jumps.
You need to start out with doing power exercises for your legs. For great
jumping ability you need some leg power. The explosive leaps you want get
started with squats. Squats are a great all around leg exercise as you work the
entire legs muscles and you are stretching at the same time, win win.
Now the heart of the ability to jump higher comes from your calves. Your calves
give you those quick hops. Any basketball player knows that you have to be able
to jump quickly and high to be any good. Have you ever seen a kangaroo jump
around, that pretty much sums up how you'll be using your calf muscle. Quick
jumps is precisely why you need to work your calves. An easy way to work your
calves and isn't too boring is to fill a back pack with some books, a fair
amount of weight but not enough that it tears the pack. Put the back pack on
your back and get to a staircase and do some calf raises. This is a cheap easy
exercise that anyone can do.
Now that we've focused on the power you'll need from the squats, and quick hops
from your calves, the next item is to add some speed to your regimen. The best
way to add speed is working on some sprints. Find a track or even a long road
that isn't too busy and sprint fast and hard. Don't jog, you want everything
that you've got sprinting. This is basically a conditioning that ties your power
of your leg muscles from your squats and the calf training together. Speed does
have a lot to do with how high you are able to jump.
Dunking on people is easily accomplished by working hard. People will fear you
on the court after you've dunked on them a few times. Not only will you be able
to dunk on them because of your increase vertical, but you'll be faster as well.
So get started, don't give up results are right around the corner.
