Place you arms in front of you for added strength and breath seriously. Then bring your knees to your chest. Continue doing this until you can simply jump out from the soil with very little effort.

If soil isn't your cup of tea, try water. The pool except for being cool will give you a level of resistance which will help you in that strength training for your increased jumping capability that you are targeting for.

After a fortnight increase the amount of squats you do. Do these till you see substantial ends up in your jumping talents.

5.Legs Muscles :
