1.0 out of 5 stars 6 exercises for $31. Incorrect training. A complete rip off., November 17, 2009

This review is from: Air Alert: The Complete Vertical Jump Program (DVD)

BUY SOMETHING ELSE!

For $31 (including shipping) I got Air Alert from its website. The 40 page black and white "training manual" looks like a video game instruction book. It describes 6 jumping excercises and prescribes doing these exercies 3 times a week for ridiculous reps. For example, in week 7 you do 350 "burn outs". The training will create muscle imbalance and many people have injured themselves from it.

The DVD may as well be a highlight reel from 1980s and 1990s NCAA games. I think the author bought rights to these NCAA highlights even though the players didn't use or endorse Air Alert. It even features Michael Jordan at North Carolina. Between dunks, the DVD tells you to "eat 3 meals a day including carbs, protein, and calcium" and tells you to "play with your mind and body". Stupid and simple. I can't make this stuff up. It shows the 6 exercises it prescribes for ridiculous (40, 50, etc) reps then tells you to do leg curls on a leg machine after advertising that the program only uses your body weight (but weights aren't part of the program). Basically worthless.

The program is 15 weeks long and the only way you can get your "money back" is to complete the program and fill out all the workout logs then send it back (after 15 weeks). Yeah right. How many people actually remember to send it in? The AUTHOR IS OBVIOUSLY NOT A PERSONAL TRAINER AND HAS NO CLUE WHAT HE'S PRESCRIBING. Save yourself $31. Buy "Jumping into Plyometrics" or "Training for Speed and Agility" for $15 each or just look up exercises on the net and do them for QUALITY EXPLOSIVE REPS (I only do 10 reps of 10 exercises 2x a week and still have a 34 inch vertical and I'm over 30 years old).

There are many better programs! Air Alert sucks.

2.0 out of 5 stars Minimal Results -- Not Worth Your Time/Money, March 30, 2009

By 

Aaron Libby (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Air Alert: The Complete Vertical Jump Program (DVD)

Air Alert was the first Vertical Jump program I've purchased, and I DID NOT get the results I'd hoped for. They guarantee 8"-14" so I figured that even if I only gained the bare minimum of 8", I'd be extremely happy.

I only ended up gaining about 4" total, and while it's still a significant increase, I'm confident that I could've added the 4" on my own, WITHOUT the help of this program.

My younger brother is using a "lesser known" program he found online, and has already gained 6" so I'm gonna have to give that a try next. I think the site was elitejumptraining.com

If anyone has better luck with another program, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

4.0 out of 5 stars good program, May 30, 2006

This review is from: Air Alert: The Complete Vertical Jump Program (DVD)

Without a doubt Air Alert works. For a novice athlete or gym-goer the program will still work even though you might have done most of the exercises like calf raises, squat hops, step ups, etc that the program requires you to execute three times a week. A person with no leg workout experience in the past will benefit the most from this program. I have trained my legs for over a year before starting Air Alert, but I still gained some ups from this program and I'm only on week 4 out of 15. I would guesstimate 1-2 inches already, though it guarantee's 8-14, I am not expecting that in the least. I went from getting high on the net to getting higher on the net, still not touching rim. The program might tear apart your joints and knees, so do the exercises on soft floors like carpet or grass to reduce impact. Definitely worth a shot, but it is not made for the weak that will quit after 3-4 days of using it.
