Best way I have found to increase your ups is to stand on the bottom step of at least a 10-flight step. With your toes on the edge of the step and heals hanging off the edge lower your heals as low as you can then rise up onto your tiptoes as high as you can. Do this 10 times then jump both feet together to the next step. Rinse repeat. Once you reach the top. Walk down, this loosens up the thighs and calves a bit so you can start over. Do it about 3 times. Do this every other day. Leave a day for your muscles to heal. Once this becomes easy you can add some weights to your ankles.
