500 calf raises a day
20 minutes of jumping rope a day

What the heck is air alert??
Jumping rope can supplement you putting more power in certain muscle groups in your kinetic chain. One thing for sure, understand the mechanics behind a proper jump and squat (which are pretty similar). Understand how to prevent yourself from "bleeding energy" from your joints.
500 calf raises a day will give you sore calves.....that is the only certain thing anyone can say.
jumping rope 20 minutes a day will make you tired
Tips for being able to jump:
(google this stuff if you don't know what they are)
- Be able to perform a proper squat
- Be able to perform a proper jumping squat (and other plyos)
- Be able to jump up and land on the ground without sounding like a falling boulder....land softly (strong like a bull, silently like a mouse)
- Have good ankle flexibility (dorsiflexion especially)
- Don't squat nor jump from heels of feet (always from area right below ball of feet)
