Do whatever you feel comfortable with. I didn't know that you were doing your cardio during lunch. I used to just work out and start doing cardio about an hour before until the time I needed to leave... right before I'd play. That way my muscles were warmed up before I started playing.

Since you'll have quite a few hours before your match, go ahead and go all out on cardio. Just be sure to properly rehydrate and stretch out afterwards. If possible, do a little warm up before playing as well. In my opinion, it would be better than a full work out anyday. Playing with fatigued muscles... sucks!


As for approach, most coaches teach outside hitters a 4-step approach.
Right... left... right-left ( for right handed players )

Middle hitters are generally taught a 2-step approach.
right-left ( for right handed players )
