It engages the muscles from head to toe and allows you to become a better athlete.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What most people don&#8217;t realize is that explosive vertical <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/jump-squats-benefits\/\">jump power<\/a> is also useful for general fitness. It translates to nearly every activity that requires athleticism, including running, lifting, swinging a bat or club, and doing bodyweight exercises. If you want to be an all-around <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/dog-workouts\/\">athlete<\/a>, it starts with power in the vertical jump.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Muscles_Do_Jumps_Workout\"><\/span><strong>What Muscles Do Jumps Workout?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might be surprised to learn that jumping workouts focus on nearly every muscle in your body. You work the quads, hamstrings, glutes, hips, calves, lower back and abs each time you jump.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The real magic happens when you use plyometrics properly. Plyometric training causes stretch-shortening of the muscles (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5260592\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). This means that as you land from a jump, your muscles are briefly stretched. When you quickly push off of the ground to jump again, your muscles contract at super speed and this allows you to jump higher than normal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only muscle groups that don&#8217;t really play a role in this type of plyometric workout are the biceps and triceps because they don&#8217;t stretch very much during a jump.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Equipment_Is_Needed_For_Jump_Workout\"><\/span><strong>What Equipment Is Needed For Jump Workout?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can do nearly every plyometric <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/womens-gym-workouts-for-beginners\/\">workout<\/a> without any equipment at all. If you want to build explosive power, though, it is helpful to have access to some equipment so you can jump off of different surfaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And let&#8217;s be honest, some of the best plyometric workouts use gymnasiums or outdoor parks to cause even more powerful workouts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some pieces of equipment that you should consider investing in if you want to get the most out of your workouts:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2361&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Jump_Workout_101\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38327 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Frame-5602-1024x576.png\" alt=\"BetterMe\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Frame-5602.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Frame-5602-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Frame-5602.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Frame-5602-1636x920.png 1636w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Frame-5602.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Flexibility_Band\"><\/span><strong>A Flexibility Band<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A flexibility band is super helpful for jump workouts.

Place foam tiles or cushions on the floor. This will spare your joints so you can train more frequently without worrying too much about injuries. Cushioning your landing also helps give you a better vertical jump because it strengthens muscles in your calves and legs which are important for jumping.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Momentum_Of_Your_Arm_Swing\"><\/span><strong>Use Momentum Of Your Arm Swing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To jump higher, you can use momentum throughout your entire body. One of the best ways to do that is by swinging your arms towards the sky as you jump. Your arms are linked to your legs, so moving them will help propel your entire body upwards and contribute to explosive power.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Distribute_Your_Weight_Equally_When_Landing\"><\/span><strong>Distribute Your Weight Equally When Landing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jumping is a high-impact exercise, so make sure you distribute your weight evenly to reduce the amount of stress on your joints. Bend at the knees and ankles as well as your hips when landing to cushion yourself from impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2361&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Jump_Workout_101\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-38330 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Frame-5597-1024x576.png\" alt=\"jump workout\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Frame-5597.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Frame-5597-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Frame-5597.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Frame-5597.png 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jump_Higher_With_The_Right_Nutrition\"><\/span><strong>Jump Higher With The Right Nutrition<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like any other workout routine, proper nutrition is crucial to making sure your workouts are successful.
