3 fun ways to cross-train before tryouts


 
Spending endless hours dribbling a soccer ball isn’t the only way to guarantee a spot on the squad. Pro trainer and lifelong athlete Jon Gallo is spilling the ways to up the ante before tryouts. He also says to remember the five S’s: speed, strength, stamina, skill and spirit. Hurrah!
 
Jog it out
“For all sports, the off-season is the time to build speed, agility and strength. Since most sports have running as a standard requirement, you should run at least one to two days a week,” he reveals.

Hop on the bike (or in the pool)
“To help build muscle, I really recommend indoor cycling and swimming. They’re easy on the body, but they build speed, strength and endurance. Both of these activities allow an athlete to incorporate resistance training into their regimen without overdoing it,” Jon says.

Get your yoga on
“To avoid over-training, soreness and injury, you should incorporate flexibility training after every workout session,” he spills. We’re hitting the mat now!

hey
for all of you that play volleyball, here are some tips for you.
To strengthen your serve take two 3-5 pound dumbbels and put them in both hands then do your technique. It will help strengthen your arms and strengthen your technique.(don't throw the dumbbells)

To help your bumping have someone throw a ball at you and theyy have to aim just a foot in front of you. They should throw harder if your advanced. It will improve your dig and dive.
hope this helps

MOD! does biking help improve running endurance even just a little bit? or are they just two completely different things?

 

 

Hey girl. Any time you work out in a prolonged manner, if you are doing some type of cardio, then you will be increasing your endurance. The difference between biking and running is impact on your body as you are in motion. So, if you are trying to run longer biking will help, but running/jogging with prepare you better. Try switching off to work out differently.

Take the stairs more than once. When you’re at home, run up and down the stairs three or four times before heading to your room. It’s a sneaky way to stay active.
