go to google and search for polymetrics.
1) jump up steps on one foot. Jump back down on one foot.
2)jump up two steps at a time on one foot, then back down on one foot.
2)jump up three steps at a time on one foot, then back down on one foot.
3)Repeat until you start jumping 5 or 6 steps at a time.
1)keep trying to touch the rim. Keep jumping for about 30 mins. at a time. In about two weeks, you might just tip it.
2) Buy shoes from Kramer
3)Go to google.com and look for polymetric exercises.

Get a metal chair and like 50-100 lbs of weight (depending on how much you want to lift).
Stand on the chair with the balls of your feet with your heels hanging off. Hold the bar in your hands and push yourself up onto your toes. Do like 20 reps at a time.
50 lbs should be enough to make your calfs hurt for a while.

Not a bad suggestion. Thanks.
