I have been working out at VSP for almost a year now. I have come a long way since my initial training session in October of 2007.
Our workouts now are much faster paced, with lots of super sets and circuits. These workouts emphasize more on the cardiovascular side of things, but we still get in good combination between agility, strength, plyometric and cardio exercises. I recently just tested and have improved in certain areas a great deal. I will post the results soon.
I feel that I am in best shape than I have ever been, and will be testing myself by doing my first Triathlon September 7th, 2008. The triathlon entails the following:
- Swim .6 miles
- Bike 17.5 miles
- Run 2 miles.
My training schedule is as follows now:
- Monday – Train at VSP during lunch, run in the afternoon.
- Tuesday – Swim in the morning, volleyball in the afternoon.
- Wednesday – Train at VSP during lunch, run in the afternoon.
- Thursday – Swim in the morning, bike in the afternoon.
- Friday – Run in the morning as long as I am not playing in a tourney sat.
- Saturday – Some type of fun activity, mountain biking, or volleyball.
- Sunday – Rest or get some type of fun activity in.
*Also I will usually lift Thursday or Friday or both on top of my VSP training.
As far as volleyball is concerned, I am playing the best ball I have played probably ever. Recently just won my first Open tournament, although I did take advantage of a weak playing field, because of a Toyota tourney that same weekend in Ocean City. But hey a win is a win, and I was playing good consistent ball.
Here is a picture form the tournament:
