Great lower body work out!

I am watching Channel 11 news and they are showing a segment on fitness. You stand on a platform which has some sort of tubing attached to it. The tubing is attached to you at your waist on either side by a belt of some sort that they put on you. Then you are supposed to jump as high as you can. The tubing serves as resistance against the jump. OUCHEES! Looks TOUGH!}(

Just thought I'd share!

I think that I wouldn't get very high off the platform! Sounds like something that you couldn't, or wouldnt be inclined to do at home.
Wendy, are you going to pursue it? at the gym maybe?

Another piece of equipment for Wendy to buy!

I just saw that piece of equipment in either the www.performbetter.com catalog, or www.power-systems.com catalog.

LOLOL...no no girls...I have no intention of purchasing one of these and as far as I know my gym does not have one. If they ever get one though, I'd be interested to give it a try!}(

That looks similar to how some of the pro football players train. But some of them just drag tires around with a rope tied around them!
