Ever want to be able to dunk a ball or spike a volleyball? It doesnt matter if youre short. Did basketball know Spud Webb was only 5′7 basketball won the NBA Slam Dunk competition in 1986? Here are some tips on how to jump higher.
- Deep Knee Bends This exercise will strengthen your legs and the muscles required for jumping. A deep knee bend involves standing straight up and bending your knees while keeping your back vertical. Go slowly and as far as you can, then slowly straighten back up.
- Jump Rope This is one of the best activities you can do. You can jump rope while watching TV so you wont feel guilty about wasting time! Not only is it effective, it is also very cheap and cost effective!
- Proper Diet You have to make sure you eat right, this means no junk foods and alcohol. Well maybe not none at all, but be sure to cut down!
- Hamstring workouts Working out your hamstrings will not only help you jump higher but it will also give you more explosive power when running or sprinting. A good exercise is to hold your leg straight up in the air and pull back on your toes.
- Toe Raises While standing still, raise the back of your feet off the ground, balancing only on your toes - kind of like a ballet dancer. Make sure you dont rush it, rise slowly and fall back slowly.
