Either reduce the mass of the object you what you want to accelerate or increase the force used to accelerate the object. F = ma ; so acceleration = force / mass Now reducing the weight means you loosing weight. If you weight less, you muscles will be able to propel you higher even if the muscles are not stronger. Increase the force means get stronger. But what muscles? The key exercises are squats, calf raises, dorsi-flexor stretches, transverse abdominal exercises, hip-flexors, abdominals, upper body exercises and don’t forget your toes. Plyometric exercises are specifically designed to train your muscles; cutting the time you take to go from rest to maximum force. If you want to jump higher you need to look at physics.

Walk up and down steps. I know you don't want to buy fitness Equipment, but in the future consider a mini rebounder/trampoline. I bought mine from walmart for $15 it came with a workout video and it fun to jump on while toning your body.

Heavier + more. Military calisthenics are always good (sit ups, knee bends, etc.) Sit-ups Crunches Push-ups Pull-ups Squats Stand with feet shoulder width apart. Squat as far as possible bringing your arms forward parallel to the floor. Return to standing position. Repeat. If this is not challenging, you can do variations. One variation is lifting one leg off the floor in front of you, putting both arms in front of you for balance, and squatting. This is a one-legged squat or pistol. Squats train the quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, and gluteals. Calf-raises Stand on a platform with an edge where you can let the heels hang (e.g. a curb). Use your heels to lift your body on the balls of your feet, then slowly return to starting position. This trains the gastrocnemius. A seated calf-raise trains the soleus. Dips Jump up into position in between parallel bars or facing either direction of trapezoid bars found in some gyms. Cross your feet with either foot in front and lower yourself on the bars until your elbows are in line with your shoulders. Push yourself up until you are fully extended, but you do not have to lock your elbows. Press yourself up and down for repetitions and you are doing dips. Dips focus primarily on the chest, triceps, and deltoids. You can go to the library and get video of Tai Chi or Qigong moves, also good. Depends on how much you weigh. Heavier + more.
