I had recurring problems with my knee. In my mind the knee and spine are the worst places to get injured. You lose all confidence in your abilities, you've lost most of your speed, and you're in constant pain.
This routine will help fix some of these problems and help loosen up that leg and stretch out that bad knee, a knee injury or pain in the knee can be caused by a number of reasons so this covers some, but not all of them. If you're coming off any injury or have a history of knee problems like me this routine is for you.
*This routine is not for those coming right off of surgery.
This routine is designed to improve the lateral movement and hitting velocity (as well as overall balance, quickness, jumping ability and athleticism) of a volleyball player.
This is a full routine for the serious volleyball athlete that wants to get better and has the time and energy to make it happen. If you're looking for a lighter routine, try the Kill Converter Lite.
See you at the Olympics!
Please note that this routine does not explicitly incorporate cardio work. In addition to your workout every day, you should get in at least 30 minutes of cardio. You can do this any way you like, our preferred methods are our Jump Rope Workout and with the Rowing Machine, but you can also run, bike, swim etc.
Finally, if you have access to a pool then we strongly recommend incorporating the AquaKinetic training into your routine. The recommended way to supplement with this workout is to add the AquaKinetic Legs on Tuesday and Saturday, and add the AquaKinetic Arms on Thursday. You can replace the cardio work you would otherwise be doing with this aquatic work.
This workout's main focus is for a hockey player. The most important thing is that hockey players have strong feet and ankles. Since they are mostly supported by stiff boots it is important to have strength in the ankle to maximize force production and balance for the athlete. This workout also is designed to maximize the speed of the hips and the strength of the obliques to maximize the speed on the shot. Hockey is a physical sport where balance and reactions are key! This workout will focus on building a strong foundation to prevent getting knocked around in the corners. This workout will also work on the muscles of the hips and glutes to maximize force production and relaxation while while maximizing the skating stride.
