Jim Adams training with Charles on Thursday, August 6, 2009. This is a 30 inch single leg, single response box jump.
I can’t stress how important warming up is. At my age, 41, I have to make sure I really warm up my body; especially my ankles, knees, and hip joints. I start off with very small jumps, hops, and latter drills (below). I don’t start pushing it until I’m sweating and my heart rate has risen as high as 165 bpm. Warming up properly takes between 1o and 15 minutes. Depending on the duration and intensity of my workouts, warming up can last as long as 20-25 minutes. But once I’m warmed up the mad hops begin flowin’.
