Answer 4

A workout for volleyball needs to include flexibility training. Most volleyball strength training exercises should use the entire range of motion of major joints, especially the hips, shoulders, knees, and ankles.

Exercises selected for the specific demands of a sport should maintain a balance of muscular strength across joints and between opposing muscle groups.

Exercising smaller muscles in isolation may also be necessary for the specific demands of a sport. For example, volleyball players may develop overuse injuries do to the repetitive nature of the overhead motion of hitting a volleyball.

To prevent these injuries, it may be necessary to include in a workout for volleyball shoulder strengthening exercises that focus on smaller muscle areas.

well ive been playing volleyball for almost a year so... for running just go around ur neiborhood about 3 or 4 times.  if its small then make it 5 or 6. just keep doin it until ur body gets used to it. then add more. now for volleyball you need to master shuffleing(or how ever you spell it) and doin wall-sits will help alot... its like sitting on a chair except against the wall with out the part under ur but. do it for 30 seconds thin 1 min, and so on...

Answer 6

Distance running type of endurance is not a key attribute of top volleyball players.  It's probably better to do repeated activities at a higher intensity (like interval training.)  The  jump rope is a great tool for conditioning for volleyball.

You can do sets of 100 jumps at full speed off both feet, then switch to alternate feet to promote the quick stepping motion that's so important in the sport.  On my team, the girls also do sets of doubles, where they have to swing the rope around twice on one jump.  A few sets of 20 double jumps will do wonders for your ability to repeatedly attack, block, and run fakes during a rally.

Answer 7

This is going to sound crazy, but see if you can find a place to play basketball or soccer, and play as much as you can.  You'll be getting in a great interval workout (which is much more important than being able to run a mile in volleyball), but it won't feel like you're working out.  

Good luck!!

Id go to a gym that doesn't cost a lot and work out with medicine balls. Work with a partner and throw the ball back and forth, over hand. This keeps your arms strong so that you will be good at serving. Also try squats because allmost the whole time your playing volleyball, you have to be down and ready. And always stretch afterwards or else you will be cramped.  hope i helped and good luck!
