Editorial Reviews
Air Alert: The Complete Vertical Jump Program is an amazing jump training program produced by TMT Sports that helps athletes jump 8 to 14 inches higher over a 15 week period. The training progra contains a high quality DVD tutorial on how to jump higher, a 39 page jump training manual, workout and advanced workout charts and measurement charts for recording your progress. The program is recommended for athletes 11 years and older and guarantees that any athlete following the program will jump higher and improve his total game. The program is based on a unique principle of Habitual Jump Training which utilizes 6 specifically designed jumping exercises that help the legs muscles develop the ability to jump instinctually. Once trained, the legs behave almost "Kanagaroo Like" and the ability to jump higher becomes effortless. Air Alert has become one of the most popular training programs on the market and is truly a must for any athlete wishing to elevate his game to another level.

If I could rate this my own way, I would give it a -1 star. (2009-01-05)

This program is a waste of money and time, I got suckered into this as well as the many others who bought this. It is all endurance(barely), a good way to put strain on your knee, and it does not tell you that you HAVE to strengthen your legs in the weight room as well as doing the program. Honestly, you should not waste your time. You would be better off buying the anything else that includes plyometrics AND weight training.

I used this program back when i was in high school and it worked for me. After i got done i was prolly in the best shape of my life and at 5'10 was only about a inch away from dunking.
Just another gimmick (2006-10-11)

I've tried the air alert II program before and I did not see any dramatic improvement in my jumping ability. I probably gained 1 inch but that was probably because of the pounds of bodyweight I lost doing the program. They ask you to do a high volume of jumps continuously and in effect, you're doing an endurance program. Instead of improving your power, you're just imrpoving your stamina, which is probably a good thing...if you were training for the marathon!!! There are a lot of better programs out there. Word of advice, don't buy into gimicks, gadgets or special shoes if you want to jump higher. There is no magic pill to get a high vertical. The secret to a high vertical lies in sound and scientific training. If you are really serious in becoming an elite athlete, get a hold of Mel Siff's "Supertraining." However, I must warn you that it is not an easy read. It's more of a textbook on training rather than a resource of cookie-cutter strength programs like most training books. For beginners in the strength and sports training game, I recommend the "Vertical Jump Bible" by Kelly Bagget. It contains more or less everything you need to know on how to setup a complete program for maximum vertical leap and speed.

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.
