Every basketball, volleyball, and basic athlete out there is looking for ways to improve their vertical jump. Professional trainers have been able to help athletes see huge differences and improvements in their vertical jumps. Not only is it something possible, but it's something that you can obtain, all it takes is the correct training.

So what's the first step to improving your vertical jump? Well first you're going to want to hit the gym, yeah that's right, in order to get those leaps of power you need muscles of power. What kind of muscles are used in a jump? Basically you will be using a lot of your core area, that includes your hips, abs, and back. I would of course add on there that you should work out your calves and legs too.

Alright, so you hit the gym, got all sweaty, and hit those muscles, what's next? Well next on the list is some good old, hardcore, old school, plyometrics training! That's right, go find a good program to help you get with your vertical leap. Plyometrics is specifically designed with this in mind, now imagine, if you workout in the gym, hit those target muscles, and do plyometrics! You'll be jumping like a champ in no time.

OK, my jumping friend, ready for the next tip? If you are serious about jumping, you should really consider stretching. Stretching out those muscles is a great way to help them be flexible, and perform better. Consider taking a yoga class, or just doing some basic stretches in your home everyday. I promise you will see fast results. It will really help you start hitting those jumps that you want.

Next tip? It's a pretty obvious one, but i'm going to put it in here anyway. Make sure you concentrate. You really have to want it, I mean, if you really want great results, you've got to be willing to put in the effort needed to get them. So when you go to jump, make sure that you give it your all. Don't hold back at all, get yourself pumped up, think about the success that you are about to achieve, and then go for it. Sometimes just having the right mind set can make all the difference.

The next tip is pretty obvious, but it will really work wonders. If you really want to increase your vertical, you're going to want to have a low body fat percentage. It's a lot easier for lighter things to go up in the air. So one of the key things that you can do is get on a great diet, that will help you burn fat and keep your muscle. This will help you get some good results, I mean heck, look at all the guys who have hops, almost all of those guys are ripped, so just be one of them.

So in conclusion, the biggest part to jumping higher is action. That's right, if you want to see results you need to put all of this into action. You can sit around and stare at your computer all day, you can watch videos of Michael Jordan flying through the air, but none of this will really help you. It's great to get information, but once you get a good jump training plan down you need to put it into action. So that's what i'm asking you to do. Sit down and put all of this learning into action, you won't regret it, I promise.
