For those people that are trying to jump higher, many want to know what is the best exercise they can do to help them achieve that goal. It may be because they are looking for a short cut or just trying to find the single best exercise and throw out the others. Actually there is great exercises such as the squat and dead lifts that will build your foundation of strength but there is something even more important, its called dedication.

To answer the question is there a best exercise that can be used, the answer is difficult because each person is different and not at the same level of condition or ability. What may possibly be the best for one may not be for the others. Each needs to evaluate their weaknesses and move on from there.

Some people, mostly beginners at strength training need to spend more time doing the squat and other strength building exercises for possibly a long time before they are strong enough to really jump. Other may already have a set of really strong legs and are able to quickly move into plyometrics and start their explosive strength training.

There is no secret way or secret exercise to help you jump higher. What is important is to be consistent and work hard to succeed no matter what level you are at. Train hard and do not get disappointed and let down if you are not jumping as high as you wish you could. Everyone has a limit as to how high they will be able to jump, do not think about what your limit is and try for as high as possible.
