Hey Guys & Gals,
To start off with I have a cool Video for you all to watch... I was searching on youtube for some cool jumping videos for inspiration, to keep me committed and motivated on this program. I think this video is awesome, the Guy in the video is very similar to my team mate when he jumps (Although my team mate is alot shorter) but just check out how much height this guy achieves. I hope it inspires you like it inspires me.... cause dam I so want to be able to do this :o)
Soon I hope to get a picture or video of my current jumping ability, just so I can document and provide evidence of my results.
I also tested my vertical Jump today. I can currently Jump 40cm's vertically, from a standing Jump. I will try to test my Jump every week, so we can see how my jump fluctuates over the next 15 weeks. Don't be suprised though, if my jump is less than 40cm next week. This is normal, after 11 days into the program apparently my jump should then start increasing :oD
My 1st day on the Air Alert program wasn't to tough, but I could feel my calfs afterwards. It took me around an hour to complete, but I did spend alot of time stretching, probably 30minutes just on this to really limber up. I also watched each exercise seperately, to really grasp my jumping tasks. Luckily though the stretches they provide you with really help to reduce stiffness in the legs, so its a great work out.
If an hour seems long, I can assure you it could be done quicker, I was trying to stick with their guidelines with resting after each set of exercises. They normally say rest 2-3minutes after each set. But to be honest I don't think its that neccessary. Also the 1st time you do something it always takes the longest :o)
Feeling great though and looking forward to day 2.
