the great walter payton (i dont know if you know him) ran up hills during the offseason, that pretty much explains one way.

or if you dont have a daily acess to a hill, and dont feel like doin that, just go to this website and give it a try.

Answer 2

Build up your leg muscles with resistive exercises - stand about 4 feet away from a wall, lean in an touch the wall, keep your feet planted on the ground, and push at the wall so you feel it in your legs. Try not to move the wall. You can also move one leg forward at a time (leg bent at the knee), both feet still planted on the floor, and push that way.

Running is a great way to build up leg muscles. Sprinting will develop the fast twitch muscles that help you jump higher. Find a short steep hill and run up it 10-15 times.

Do a few squats. Spread your feet apart about shoulder length. Extend your arms out in front of you and bend at the knees. Do this 10-15 times in a row, rest, and do 3-5 more sets.

You should be jumping higher in no time.
