Steps To Increase Leaping Ability
The very first step of doing anything is to understand the aspects of that.
And leaping high is an ability which needs a light body and powerful too.
So at the beginning what you have to do is loose your extra weight.

Another important part is to be powerful.
Power itself can be divided into speed and strength.

When we are talking about vertical jump it becomes necessary to know about which muscles takes part in vertical jumping.
Some myths are that basically quadriceps participates in that but in fact the posterior chain including glutes, hamstrings, core and hips helps us to have a high jump.
Some part is also played by the calves, shoulders and lats but basically what helps to jump high is the muscular part in and around our upper legs.
The various exercises in gym that can help to make the above-mentioned muscles stronger are squat and dead lift.
Practicing these exercises regularly can even lead a lay man to jump more efficiently.
We need to concentrate more on our weaknesses than on our stronger parts.
As well as identifying the proper balance in our body muscles to prevent from the injuries and for increasing leaping ability.
A man who is weak but still have the spirit to do something to explore something can improve his ability by increasing his strengths.
Don’ts
The exercises should not be done without the proper guidance and not more than 3-4 days.

Do not work out for the whole day.
Have a planned schedule and just regularly follow it.
