Whether she is playing indoor or beach volleyball,?April Ross has been sculpting her body for years. However, she is not just any Californian who spends her days on the beach.You know, I think sometimes the idea of a beach volleyball body gets mixed up a little bit with kind of the casual beachgoer layout in a bikini type of deal, said Ross, who won a silver medal in beach volleyball at the 2012 Olympics.

So Im just trying to do beach volleyball movements, but weighted and restricted.Beach cardio: I do cardio on the sand. Every weekend Ill do an hour of cardio in the gym just to mix it up.Balance is keyRoss did gymnastics when she was younger before she got too tall to compete. She says her lessons taught her balance and stability.Challenge acceptedSome parts of training can be very difficult for Ross, and those are the parts she does most often.Burpees:?One thing that sucks are burpees, so I started to do those as much as possible.

Ive started doing them with a weight vest.Lifting: I love Olympic lifting. I find it challenging and really productive, so I love doing cleans and snatches and deadlifts and all that.Pull-ups:?My core has always been pretty strong, but especially compared to other athletes my arm strength is just a little bit less than average. So Ive tried to work on that a lot.This summer, espnW is running stories, essays and letters on body image as part of a series called Love, My Body. Read more from the series ? Cheap Vapormax 95 .
