I Believe I Can Fly! A song by R. Kelly, a sountrack of Animated Cartoon SPACE JAM, an exploitation of Michael 'AIR' Jordan's supremacy abillity; JUMP HIGH TO THE AIR! Increasing your vertical jump is easy to those who are dedicated to improving their game. Having a good vertical jump is very useful in almost every sport today beacuse more and more athletes are spending more time in the air. There are so many of 'How to Jump Higher' tips and programs out there, like you will hear or read like 'How to improve your vertical jump', 'how to increase your vertical leap', 'start dunking today', and so many sites are offering us about 'that'. But we don't know which one is better working for us, each of them offer different ways or tips for us to get that higher jump abillity. I'd tried to find some better tips and programs to post in this blog, because i think you should try its. Why not? Maybe working to you, if it not working, try another tips. I believe one of tips may working to you or me too, i will try it too. So, whatever if you will not. And to you who are looking for this, here are some... I'll post it one by one in my next post for you, i still find and try to find the better tips. I believe i will get it and someday i will dunk the ball and make the crowd say a long "Ooooo..." Let's start try it and i wish you succes. I will glad to read someone post comments here to say his/her succes : )
Here are the first tips i got:
Section 1 The program
Step 1. Begin every workout by warming up your muscles and then doing extensive leg stretches. Because you'll be building muscle fibers that are used for explosive activities such as jumping, stretching is of the utmost importance.
Step 2. Jump rope for its excellent cardiovascular conditioning. This step should never be skipped, as it will be an important contributor to your results.
Step 3. Sprint. This builds muscle, which will add to your jumping ability.
Step 4. Run stairs on your toes. Start by running up a flight, one step at a time. Walk down and run back up, taking two steps at a time. Repeat as many times as you can manage.
Step 5. Do sets of elevated jumps (see the next section).
Step 6. Do sets of explosive jumps (see the third section).
Step 7. Do sets of double jumps (see the third section).
Step 8. Rest your legs at least two days a week. Results will come from sustaining the exercise program, not performing it aggressively for a few weeks and then slacking off.
Section 2 Elevated Jumps
Step 1. Begin by placing a step bench or platform on the ground (many health clubs have a platform for just this purpose).
Step 2. Stand on the platform, then jump backward onto the ground, concentrating on landing softly.
3. Jump back onto the platform immediately, with a bouncing motion.
4. Complete three sets of 10 repetitions. Be very careful when performing this exercise, as there is a potential for injury.
Section 3 Explosive Leg Jumps and Double Jumps
1. Position yourself for an explosive leg jump by facing a secure platform and placing your right foot on it.
2. Jump as high as you can, concentrating on exploding off the right leg. Scissor your legs once in the air, then land with your left foot on the platform and your right foot on the floor. Gather yourself and explode upward again, this time off the left foot.
3. Do three sets of 10 repetitions, resting for about 30 seconds to 1 minute between sets.
4. Execute a double jump by jumping as high as possible with both feet from a stationary position.
5. Jump again immediately upon landing, using less effort.
6. Repeat until you've accomplished three sets of 10 jumps each.
OVERALL WARNINGS!
- Some of these exercises, particularly stair runs and explosive leg jumps, can cause injury if not performed properly. Your knees, in particular, are especially susceptible.
- Make sure you thoroughly understand all instructions before attempting the exercises.
So there are the tips today, i got all the tips from site eHow. I dont know is it legal or not? I just try to help you to find that jumping tips and programs, I hope its useful...
So lets start to workout for our FLYING future! Or maybe somebody have a better tips to improve vertical jump? I am VERY thanks if you post me. ; )
