well if you want to get in shape for both of them you should work out  run a couple times a day and practice the cheers if u know them and you so stretch alot because if you don't stretch alot before you practice you will get really sore after... i tried out for cheer leading and i had to practice like 3 times a day.... just keep practicing the cheers and practice playing volleyball

Answer 4

in volleyball and cheerleading you need to jump high. (cheer-get ur toe touch right, vball to get a good spike)

run run run run. to see how much you can push yourself in a game but not to where you will get sick.

work on your upper body strength so you can get a good hard serve.

strecth your leg musles really good so they wont cramp

Answer 5

Work on your abs.

Answer 6

Start off taking it slow...for example when you start running do like a mile the first week. Then you can work up to two miles. In volleyball, we have to run 2 and a half miles just about everyday....so if you know how much you are going to be running for either sport it is good to start doing that before tryouts.

Stretching is the key to getting in shape and staying in shape! If you do not stretch well enough or at all, then you will become very sore. Stretching before and after a workout is mandatory. You will become at a least a little bit sore when trying to get in shape...just remember to use warm water or a heating pad to help with the soreness.

Some exercises besides running are doing ab workouts, push-ups, and agilities (sprinting, skipping, etc) Doing this over a period of time will greatly increase your strength and endurance for both sports. If you do know some cheerleading stunts, you could practice those. For volleyball, you will want to practice getting into a ready position (bend your knees so that your hand can touch the floor). This is going to hurt until you get used to it but enough practice will help to reduce that. I hope this helps. Good Luck on your training!

Working on your inner core around your stomach is a big difference and any kind of sports , this allows you to move/rotation better along with better balance
