subject: Vertical Jumping: Improved With Plyometrics [print this page] One of my favorite pastimes is playing basketball. I started playing way back in 5th grade and am still looking forward to playing until I graduate in college. After years of playing basketball, one obstacle regarding my vertical jumping has always worried me.
I was just an average basketball player because I could not jump very high. For the past many years, I have done different exercises just to increase my jump but none of these were helpful. I did weight training but it seemed that my muscles just kept weighing me down instead of propelling me up into the air. In spite of the years of executing exercises like leaps and squats, my jump was still just average.
And just last year, I already thought that I would remain average until the day that I read an article on plyometrics. As I was surfing the Internet, I saw an article which talked about the benefits of plyometrics and how this can increase any person's jump. Plus, I also found lots of testimonials in the website which were accounts of different people regarding the benefits of plyometrics and how their jumps were really increased by it. I was a bit skeptical in the beginning so I decided to look for more testimonials. Indeed, I only found few testimonials saying that their jumps were not improved by plyometrics. From all the information that I got, I finally made up my mind to do plyometrics. And because this is my first time to do plyometrics, I definitely need a manual or mentor for guidance. I first looked for a mentor but can not find one. Therefore, the next thing that I searched for was a good plyometrics manual.
One of the manuals that I read about is the Jump Manual and I looked at its different features and benefits. I also looked for user reviews in order to find out how other people thought about the product. And because I only found very few negative user reviews on the Jump Manual, I took a closer look at the benefits and features of the product.
I definitely liked the different features of the Jump Manual: training video, iPod videos, nutritional program, free coaching for one month, money-back guarantee, individualized workout charts, and progress charts. The features of the Jump Manual make it a complete package on proper exercise and diet for any person who wants to improve his jump.
And the videos were a lot of help because I got to watch how to do the exercises. So, if there was anything that I did not understand with the manual, I can easily refer to the videos. And since I could download the videos into my iPod, I was able to see the videos wherever I was.
And even though I was not able to find a coach or trainer before, I instantly had an online coach when I purchased the Jump Manual. I learned so much more from the online coach so I decided to extend my subscription after the free one-month offer was finished.
In less than a month, I was experiencing astounding improvements in my vertical jumping. With the Jump Manual, I was able to achieve my goal in only a few weeks. Thanks to the Jump Manual for helping me be the basketball player that I always dreamed of becoming.
