Jump only once and allow two steps into the jump.
Mark the strings so that they can be determined from the weight day jumps.
Take a total of 10 jumps.
If you have touched the ball on any jump then increase the height of the ball by 2 cm and remark the string.
When doing this routine do not at anytime jump on any hard surfaces such as carpeting or flooring laid down on concrete.
Always jump on a soft surface such as grass sand or something like a tumbling mat. Do not ever land with a straight leg or back or on one leg as this puts too much stress on the knees and the back and could cause damage
