So you want to learn how to jump higher. Maybe you're a basketball player and want to capture more jump balls for your team. Or maybe you do the long jump or some other sport that requires you to jump, jump often, and jump high. Read on to learn how to jump higher in 14 days.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • patience
  • practice
  1. Step 1

    First, realize that you need to condition your entire body before you'll be able to reach your full jump potential. Working just your legs will not give you the results you desire. Just like doing thousands of crunches will not give you flat abs, doing thousands of squats a day will not result in higher jumps. Not by themselves.

  2. Step 2

    If you can afford to, hire a personal trainer. Expensive, I know, but they will be able to detail a personalized workout plan, can teach you the moves properly and ensure that you are becoming the best athlete that you can be while improving your ability to jump.

  3. Step 3

    Next, the exercises you will need to master to condition your entire body so that you can jump higher in 14 days. There are many different exercises that you should do everyday at least three sets of twenty reps in order to reach your high jump potential. Exercises that deal with your upper body include weighted bench press and the weighted military press.

  4. Step 4

    Other weighted exercises include the aforementioned squats (combined with the other exercises they will boost your jump but be sure to include variations such as split squats and jump squats), good mornings, power cleans, deadlifts, and reverse hyperextensions. The best core workout for increasing your jump he right is isometric bridges.

  5. Step 5

    Other exercises to consider: maximum height jumps, sprinting, depth jumps, and jump rope. If you follow these exercises, work out, eat healthy, you will be able to jump higher in just 14 days. Good luck!
