If you have been in it for a while, then you probably know that a good vertical jump is one of the most vital thing needed to make up a good team that wins! You can ask any professional athlete, from basketball to football to track and field: the Vertical Leap can be the deciding factor between you getting a scholarship to a college or how quickly you get drafted into a professional league. Here are a few vertical leap workout tips that any dedicated athlete should be able to perform without much effort.

-The most vital part to any vertical leap workout is stretching before and after the workout. The last thing that you want to do is increase your vertical jump by two inches but then tearing a MCL muscle. It is true that it could be sometimes boring and not the most fun of things among young athletes, but it is a good thing to do.

-Pull out that jump rope from your closet. Jumping rope can be very beneficial and should be done after stretching but before all other workouts. Jumping rope loosens up the body for an energetic workout that awaits you.

-Doing wind sprints can help build calf muscles and endurance. Sure, you classically only do one Vertical Leap per combine or drill, but that doesn’t stop you from putting in a few practice jumps in the locker room before the big jump.

- Just running up and down the stairs can help in your vertical jump efforts. Be careful to only run up the stairs. Walk back down the stairs for safety. Tripping and falling can occur for even the most seasoned athlete.

-The next step is to break out a platform that you will be jumping on. This platform can be found at sporting good stores at a reasonable price and also free of charge at most good gyms. Start off on the platform and jump backwards off it and then back on back and forth for ten reps.

-Next, start off with just the left leg on the same platform as before and jump up, landing instead on the right foot. After that, do it on the other side. Do another 10 reps of this.

- To end up with vertical jump exercises, I will introduce you to what is know as the double jump, which is basically a preview of how you do the vertical leap for scouts at a combine. You want to do ten reps of these as well.

- After completing your jump exercise don’t forget to stretch out. This will greatly reduce the risk of injury and cramps. As you can see, all it takes to complete a Vertical Leap workout is some time and devotion. Protection is of course the most vital part of any workout and this one is no special. Only carry out these exercises a few times a week, no more than 5 times a week. This is not only a preventative measure, but also the human body needs time to rest in order for muscles to grow again. Good luck to you in whatever sport you decide to use the vertical jump in and remember to always be safe. Follow link and Learn More about how to Increase Vertical Jump
