I only ask because I once felt it was all hype, but some friends of mine have used it and I&ve seen a marked increase in their vertical jump when playing basketball Also how could I incorporate it into a normal body building split routine? !elow is an e(ample of the workout Air Alert ") *he Workout must be followed in this order) + Warm,up #jumping jacks, running in the same place% " -tretching $ .eap,ups 4 /alf,raises 5 -tep,ups 0 *hrust,ups 1 !urnouts 2 /ool 3own #stretching% Air Alert Workout /hart,done 5 days a week #+%.eap,ups #"%/alf 4aises #$%-tep,5ps #4%*hrust,ups #5%!urnouts #+% #"% #$% #4% #5% + "6"5 "6+7 "6+7 "6+5 +6+77 " +657 "6"7 "6+5 "6"7 +6"77 $ +615 "6"5 "6+5 "6"5 +6$77 4 +615 "6$7 "6"7 "6$7 +6477 5 "657 "6$5 "6"7 "6$5 +6577 0 +6+77 "647 "6"5 "647 +6077 1 +6+"5 "645 "6"5 "657 +6177 2 "615 "657 "6$7 "607 +6277 8 "6+77 "655 "6$7 "617 +6877 +7 "6+"5 "607 "6$5 "627 +6+777 ++ "6+57 "605 "6$5 "687 +6++77 +" "6"77 "617 "647 "6+77 +6+"77 .eap,ups , -tand with your feet shoulder width apart, and jump up looking straight ahead /ome down about +94 of the way and jump right back up *his completes one leapup /alf raises , -tand on something so that your heels are not touching anything, stairs, a book etc :o all the way up and come slowly down 3o one leg, then the other, this completes one set -tep,ups , :et a sturdy chair or bench, put one leg on the chair, and push yourself off the chair with your one leg While in the air, switch legs, put the leg that was on the ground on the bench, the leg that was on the bench on the ground 3o the specified number of reps on each leg *hrust,ups , -tand with your feet shoulder width apart, and lock your knees *hen jump up just by using your calves, only bending at the ankles As soon as your land, go right back up *his completes one thrust ups ;ou can use your arms if you want !urnouts , -tand in the same position as thrust ups, and go up as high as your can on your toes *hen jump up only using the sides of your thighs and your toes , you must stay as high on your toes as possible throughout the e(ercise ;ou can use your arms too
