If you don’t know your starting point, you can’t track improvement. Here’s a simple, no-equipment method:
What You Need:
- A wall
- Chalk or tape
- Measuring tape
Steps:
- Stand with your side to the wall, feet flat on the floor.
- Raise your dominant arm and mark your standing reach on the wall.
- Jump as high as possible, touching the wall at the top of your jump.
- Mark this jump height.
- Subtract your standing reach from jump height = vertical jump.
Challenge:
- Post your number in the comments.
- Re-test every 2 weeks — track your improvement.
đź’ˇ Tip: Keep feet shoulder-width, swing arms for momentum, land softly to avoid injury.
