Spring season is very important preparation for the upcoming
volleyball season. It gives us a chance to improve upon our weaknesses so they can become our strengths in the fall. Our last spring season went very
well. We all devoted a lot of time and energy in the off-season, which is
why we were successful this fall. Over the course of winter break the team
received a specific workout plan that has been very beneficial to staying in
shape. Our workout plan consists of circuit training workouts to increase our
speed, agility, and muscular strength. Most of our workouts are body
weight-based exercises. Most of our days have six or more exercises that will
have approximate 25 reps, or less depending the type of exercise, and we will
do 4-6 sets of each exercise. One day in
the series will consist mostly on upper body, while the next day will be
focused strictly on abdominal muscles or lower body days. Some days will
consist of all three. In a few days we
will work out the same muscles groups but by doing new and different exercise. My biggest challenge were the days involving
jumping and landing but luckily there was minimal jumping most of the days.
What I liked most about this workout was the different daily exercises because
they were always changing to work all different muscles in different ways.
