A Different Jumping Pattern
When you do not want to do a jumping exercise that requires a lot of equipment or space, then this exercise is perfect for your vertical jump training. It is called a square jump. In a square jump you stand straight up. Slightly bend your knees and jump forward. Then, jump to the side, back and to the opposite side. You should end up where you started. You are basically jumping in a square pattern. Continue doing this for a little while longer. Then, quickly switch directions and go counter-clockwise. When you do this make sure that you move as quickly as you can to gain the most satisfying results you can.
