Are You a Natural at Vertical Jumping?

So many want to increase their vertical jump in basketball or volleyball but just can't seem to achieve their goal. You must understand just because one person can add 10 inches to their vertical for example, does not mean everyone can do it too, we are all made up different. Who knows, you may be able to do better or maybe not, everyone is different.

Some people seem to have a natural gift to be able to dunk a basketball or jump high at the volleyball net to spike the ball. When we are born some of us start off with all the right stuff and grow up having that natural ability. The rest of us have to work harder to get those physical abilities.

Here we are, now we want to be able to jump higher, those of us that need to work extra hard and those with the natural ability. To reach that goal we all need to use the same techniques.
A good coach or a good vertical jump program would be the way to go. Some of us may only be able to add a couple inches to our jump and others will add much more.

It will take strengthening the legs, developing explosive strength and even learning the correct technique to jump. Even proper diet plays a roll, if the body weight is too high reduce it; extra weight can help hold you down. Do not try to workout everyday, 4 or 5 times a week is enough. The body needs time to recover and avoid burn out or injury.
