Increasing your vertical jump takes practice, dedication, structured exercise and good nutrition. Good nutrition enables your body to operate at its optimum. Doing away with harmful habits and foods also goes a long way in ensuring your body is at its optimum. You should firstly start by eating a healthy diet. As with many things, this should involve boosting the amounts of fresh fruit and vegetables that are consumed. Also cutting down on sugars, saturated fats and alcohol on a regular basis will help.
Making sure you watch your weight by working out reduce excess body fat and getting good tone helps in achieving desired results. To sharpen your lift and skills use weight training for the leg muscles. Ensure you add lunges and squats to your vertical jump training workout. Daily practice of vertical jump training works to develop a technique unique to you and improving it daily. A minimum of ten daily vertical jumps works to your advantage with an advised rest of one or two days a week.
