Plyometric training is a great way to build
explosive power. Performing plyometrics one to
three times a week can increase your vertical
jump, speed and strength. The Front Box Jump is
one of the most-used plyometric exercises
because it is very effective at increasing one's
vertical jump. It strengthens your quadriceps
and glute muscles, which are essential for
jumping.

Dare to Dream
 Aim
to boldly follow your dreams, become the hero of your
story; make space and time for your dreams; map and
track your competencies; know your beliefs; build on
your strengths; and fine-tune your dreams as you align
them with current circumstances.
Reflecting on childhood experiences and happiness is a
good way to begin understanding your dreams. Through the
twists and turns of life, it is necessary to embrace
one’s constraints and even tap ‘fortunate frustrations’
by downsizing, re-directing or deferring dreams.
Set aside a specific time and space for your dreams.
This can include a vacation or even a ‘staycation’ at
home. This ‘down payment’ for the dream via time, space,
money and energy pays off in the long run.
Powerful dreams engage the mind, soul and heart.
