Listed below are three of the greatest and most effective vertical jump exercises that can help you boost your jump fast. These are plyometric exercises and what is great about these routines is that, you can perform them easily, right there in the confines of your own home. Go ahead and check them out, so you could start increasing your vertical now!
1.) Weighted Explosion – With this routine you will need dumbbells with weights between fifteen to forty pounds. Hold onto the weight with both hands and commence a squatting movement. Once you reach your lowest squatting point, explode up into the air as high as possible, all the while swinging the weight upwards and above your head. Try to land gently on the balls of your feet. Repeat the entire process. The recommended rep and set for this routine is eight repetitions, for three sets.
2.) Chair Rocket – Here you will need a tough chair (or a small stool since this is your first time) that could support your weight. Place your right foot on top of the chair with both hands onto your waist. Next, push yourself upwards using the strength of your right foot and simultaneously, bring your left knee forward. Switch footing while you are in midair, so that you land with the left foot onto the chair and the right foot on the ground. Repeat the entire process. Once you finish the exercise with both feet that is counted as one rep. Perform six reps for four sets.
3.) Power Jump Rope – This is basically your average jump rope, but what you would want to do here is to jump as quickly and as high as you can. It would also be perfect if you are able to perform doubles as well as triples, which is achieved by letting the skip rope pass under your legs for two to three times each jump.
