tips for a mere and lowly skydiver to be

[charaticuspotts 0]

alright, so ive never had the privilege of jumping out of a plane before,
but i will sometime next month (either sept. 6th or 20th) but anyway,
id prefer not to go there and not know anything,
so i was wondering if you guys could bestow your wisdom upon me.
like basic moves, what i should try to do, excersizes, etc.
peace

Well, if you've never jumped out of a plane before, I would suggest that you forget about basic moves and exercises, and wait until you have your Ground school done.
You'll learn everything you need to know to complete your AFF during ground school... Sick to that, and read up once you've done a few jumps...
More importantly, speak to your instructors, once you've jumped..
Have a look here for starters. http://www.dropzone.com/content/Detailed/519.html

Best of luck though! And enjoy!

Just relax and wait for the course. Don't risk practicing without supervision, you might pratice incorrectly and then have to spend extra time unlearning the stuff you've praticed.

Power yoga, will not hurt. and some endurance training if you are going to get into the sport in a big way.. Good luck.

Look Gordo I got in

Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...
