Playing volleyball!! Even by yourself it's a great workout. Normally when I'm in the gym I'll spend about 30 minutes out on the basketball court practicing my serves. It's always been my strong point and in years has really slipped. But Monday night, the court was taken over by 5 thugs playing b'ball so I was subject to a small area. I hit the ball against the wall for about 20 mintues. I can honestly say that even on Wednesday every muscle in my body is sore. Even my abs which says a lot.

So, don't discredit volleyball, it's a real muscle clincher.

Hey what a coincidence! I just played volleyball today in P.E. class. I'm already sore all over the place from working out so I prob. wont notice if it makes me sore. I love playing volleyball though, its really fun!

when you play vollyeball you use every muscle in your body over and over and over.

have you ever played volleyball??? properly, not "lolly gagging" around with friends...

it's taxing on the muscles... VERY!!!

HOTT, ok back on topic

yeh ive played volleyball before at PE lessons

oh right, that serve looks good

in my PE lessons it wasnt like a 1 one 1 thing it was 5 a side

and the girl on the right wasnt she "slapping" the ball? my PE teacher had told me your not allowed to do that in volleyball. Have to hit the ball with ur hand as a diamond shape

sdb

no she wasn't slapping the ball, it was a spike but without the jump.

Ali

spike, oh ok. I quess my PE teacher didnt tell us everything about volleyball coz we wanted to do football(soccer) so he chose volleyball. But there is a rule in volleyball about slapping the ball isnt there?
