Reply | Forward Message #7920 of 7929 |
If you want to know how to jump higher - it's all about getting the right kind
of training to strengthen your core muscles.
How to Jump Higher Wit Your Core Muscles
Although leg specific exercises do have it's benefits, it's the Total Body
workouts that counts the most ... and are the best exercises to jump higher. You
see a strong body means a strong core - and will translate to greater burst of
speed and overall strength.
A good example are the professional basket-ballers and Aussie Rules footballers
- not only are these athletes well proportioned, each individual have strong
core muscles - and they are very fit. By working on these core muscles, you will
engage large muscle groups, and increase your fast twitching muscles that will
give you that burst of power.
Total Body Workouts like the dead-lifts, weight lunges, bench press and others
are the kind of workouts that will strengthen your core muscles.
As well as strengthening your core muscles, you need to be fit. Hence, get into
hill sprints, 100 yard dash or any other kind of high intensity 'stop, start'
workouts or exercises like basketball to increase your burst of power and
fitness.
Fitness and core strength plays a crucial role in increasing your vertical leap
- and it is really how to jump higher!
And for added leg strength, plyometrics can add inches to your leap - so give it
a go.
This is where a program like The Vertical Jump Project comes in - Although it is
expensive, it does have the best exercises to help you jump higher, and does a
good job illustrating the best Total Body Workouts, plyometrics and unique
exercises to get you jumping higher for any kind of sports.
In summary, don't focus your efforts entirely on leg specific exercises. The two
most important components are your core muscles and your fitness - if you can
tie these two together, you will increase your vertical leap! Hopefully, this
article has answered some of your questions on how to jump higher.
