Kobe Bryant does these workouts to jump higher, and you?

Have you ever wondered how professional NBA players jump so high and dunk so well? NBA stars are in very strict jump training that they do every day. Training is very simple and can be done by a basketball player of any skill level, whether you’re a high school player who needs a few extra inches to shoot, or a college star who wants to win a dunk contest. These are the key elements of NBA jump training.

1. Jump squats! Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands behind your head. Bend your knees and squat down so that your legs are parallel to the floor. Now jump as high as you can, keeping your back straight and your hands behind your head. Instantly, when your feet hit the ground, repeat the entire process. Do about 20 jumps, 3 times or until you can’t anymore.

2. Stairs! This is easy and effective. Start by simply going up the stairs and walking down. Then go up the stairs, jumping one step at each step. Then jump with both feet down the stairs. Ten Walk up the stairs with one foot. All of these exercises work the calves tremendously, which is a big part of jumping height. Do these exercises every day.

3. Sprints! Sprints are much more effective at improving jump height than long-distance running. Sprints force your muscle to become much more explosive. Do at least 5 100-yard sprints every day. You’ll see your speed start to skyrocket and you’ll start jumping higher in no time.
