Week 2, Between Day 4 and Day 5. Resting Day…. Are much better :o)

Ok, I know this recording isn’t the best but I hope you will enjoy it. It shows proof that my current jumping height is not abnormally high, and it’s a way for me to show, document and prove hopefully by following the Air Alert program, that any one can achieve a higher vertical jump. I will try to catch and record my leap every two weeks on video as a way of presenting my results. Furthermore I will continue to test & record my standing vertical jump and post the results on my blog.

Additional information you may also be interested in knowing is…. About my other activities I take part in. During my average week and to improve my fitness and along with the Air Alert Program, I also participate in other sports. I have tried to summarise this into a table found below:

By the way, to clarify, the values are in minutes in the table, except for where it says 11.25 which is in Hours :oD

On average I do about 11.25 hours a week of sport. Badminton and Volleyball twice a week, along with Air Alert three times a week.

Some of you who may have purchased the Air Alert program might be wondering why I am training on AA during Thursday, Saturdays & Mondays and not on the proposed days, for instance, Monday, Wednesday & Friday during odd weeks and Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, during even weeks. Well I do this to prevent myself from over training, because Tuesday through to Thursdays are my sports club nights, and the original plan would really conflict with my AA training, plus Training regimes should be tailored and well suited to the participant, not the other way around.

As some of you may or may not know, over training increases the risk of injury too, hence why my training patterns are slightly different to the AA system. Saying that however I do stick to the proposed sets and reps as advised.

On top of this schedule, especially when the weather is good, occasionally I walk to University, which is a roughly a 6 mile round trip on top. This can be upto 5 times a week.
