Jumping

Spiking is the single most exciting thing to do in a game, especially if the person can get some air. If there's one thing I've noticed about my game, I don't jump very much. The only spikes I jump for are sole pushes & sunbacks. So I've introduced some jumping exercises into my workout routine that I trust will pay off when I'm on the court.

JUMPING EXERCISES

1. Deep Knee Bends --- Be standing. Slowly bend at the knees while keeping your back straight. Slowly crouch down as low as possible and slowly rise back up.

2. Toe Raises --- Stand regularly, then raise up onto the tips of your toes. Repeat 30-50 times. Toe-Raise with Weights --- If you have any sort of weights, holding/wearing them while doing these toe raises will help.

3. Jumping Rope--- Jumping rope definitely helps your vertical leap.
