You will need this list of equipment:

-Yourself
-A jump rope
I will assume the jumpers already have a running regimen, so do the bounding in place of your leg lifts
(no more than twice a week). I would suggest doing the warm-up every day regardless. A little jump
rope never hurt anybody. Bounding/plyos and core workouts are going to work many of the same
things as weights, and the coordination gained will yield more results.
Warm-up (Anybody):
5-10 minute jog/exercise bike
Jump Rope:
-100 regular reps
-20 alternating leg reps
-10 same leg reps (each)
-10 high-knee while skipping (each)
2 x 10 above head wide arm squats, no weight (get deep and work on balance)
Any of your regular skips and stretches
Bounding (Jumpers):
-Do these on grass or sand, avoid concrete or a track surface for now.
-Wear your running shoes or something with a sole.
-If you have no experience start them from a standing position.
-Work your way up to being able to do them from a 20m running start.
-Start easy, think light and quick. Don't pound or stomp your feet into the ground.
-Drive your knees up and out. Your thigh should be parallel to the ground and foot under the knee.
-Whenever you repeat a jump off the same leg, put emphasis on cycling your leg in mid-air so that the
next bound is equally powerful and speed is not lost. Quickness and coordination is key.
-The first time around only do one set of each, increase to two sets when you have figured them out.
R = Right leg, L = Left leg. Each line = one set (ex. RRRRR is 5 right leg bounds)
RLRLRLRLRL
RRRRR
LLLLL
RRLL RRLL
RRL RRL RRL
LLR LLR LLR
