Answer 1

first off you need to do squats to strengthen up leg muscles-- calves, thighs, buttocks. then comes the arms pushups little weight lifting. core exercises- situps, crunches supermans. jumping rope- increase stamina. and running a lot 1- 2 miles every other day. try this link.

I'm a High School Volleyball player, so hopefully, I can help you out!

First of all, you'll want to run. A lot. A mile a day is good, if possible. You need to stretch your leg and arm muscles before any physical excercise. Try this, for arms, it's one of my favorite stretches:

Have someone stand behind you and pull your arms back until you say *STOP*! Then, have them raise your arms up, slowly, still behind you, until you say *STOP*!
It helps with your back and arm muscles, and feels great!

For legs, try this: Lay on the floor, flat on your back, and cross one leg over the other. You'll sort of roll automatically onto your side. Stretch your leg over as far as possible, and hold it for 15 seconds. It feels so great! <:

Now, you may want to try warming up with a bit of bumping, setting, and hitting. Hitting is a major part of volleyball. You need strong arm muscles.

Try practicing bumping and setting with a partner, and you'll get better. Always drink plenty of water, and get plenty of rest, and you'll do great!

I hope this helped you, in one way or another!! <:

**Good Luck**

yes listen to him ^ protein is very important for keeping you healthy and energetic during a workout. also eating fruits like strawberries and bananas are also good as long as you dont eat too much of it. you should only eat something very light before practice and have breakfast when you get back (breakfest is important after you workout so you can get your strength back). also it will help if you build a stronger core. even though it doesnt seem like it, you get this feeling because you probably arent in the best shape. once you have done alot of ab excersises the feeling should start to go away. i really hoped this helped, good luck.

first off you need good skill like bumping or passing setting and hitting. to train first you need stamina run some hills or up and down steps . you could also run suicides. jumping jacks are good and calf raises i like to throw the ball against the wall or with a partner to warm up my shoulders switching arms then do a few push-ups before u begin good luck
