Jump Workouts - How to Increase Vertical Leap

If you play basketball you have wanted to know how to increase your vertical jump height. The good news is that there are workouts your can do to jump higher. The only bad news is that you could have been jumping higher a long time ago.

What if I already jump high can I jump higher?

No matter how high you jump you can jump higher by doing some workouts designed to train your body to be a jumping machine.

Here are some of the best exercises you can do to increase your vertical leap.

Seated Box Jumps

This is one of the best exercises you can do to improve your vertical but I never see coaches or athletes doing it. Grab a chair or something to sit on that is knee height. Place a high box in front of the chair and from your seated position jump onto the box with one powerful movement. What does this do? It forces you to use more muscles to jump. Most people only bend their knees slightly when jumping. The more force you put against the ground will result in you getting higher. Ball Throws

This is another priceless workout that you must do if you want to learn how to jump higher. Take a medicine ball that weighs around 8 pounds. With feet shoulder width apart bend at the knee keeping the back straight until the ball touches the ground between your feet. Now throw the ball up in the air as high as you can while jumping to increase the height the ball goes.
