So what is the most effective exercise for volleyball? Well the truth is that there are many highly effective exercises for volleyball, but if I had to talk about one in a 300 to 400 word article then I would tell you about the kettlebell swing! That’s right, I said kettlebell swing.
Kettlebell Swings: A Superior Volleyball Exercise!
You see the kettlebell swing is the base strength endurance lift that you can perform with the kettlebell. This single lift is so effective because it is not only great for building muscular strength, but it is tremendous for endurance and cardiovascular fitness as well. You see effective strength training for volleyball must focus in on training your body through various forms of resistance by the act of movement! Kettlebell swings provide you with this movement oriented form of resistance training.
The swing lift is performed by you swinging the bell from between your legs up to at least chest level back and forth like a pendulum to start. This back and forth movement is accomplished by you having to engage your hips and knees in an act of constant flexion and extension in order to generate the necessary momentum to swing the bell. The great thing about this single lift is that it can be modified in several different ways to provide you with a different kind of workout. For instance, you can perform the swing lift as discussed with a single kettlebell and 2 arms, or with a kettlebell in each hand, or with just a single bell in one arm. All of these variations will provide you with a superior volleyball strength and conditioning workout.
If you were looking for effective kettlebell exercises to improve your volleyball game then you just found it. The kettlebell swing is a lift that must be mastered by you if you expect to develop a strong powerful core, explosive hips, and springy legs to get you around on the court to make the big plays. This is a tremendous strength training exercise for ALL volleyball players to engage in.
