Tennis is a dynamic sport with quick movements that require strength and flexibility. Just as you build skills on the court, it’s important to work on basic body movements off the court to build a strong foundation, reduce risk of injury, and improve your game.

1. Ground strokes and volleys

Hit powerful ground strokes and smoothly return your opponents shots by building strength and flexibility in your legs, core, and upper body. Generate more power by building strength in the legs and core. Improve mobility in your ankles, knees, hips, torso, and arms for a smooth and effective transfer of power to the racket to increase consistency and reduce your risk of injury.

2. Serves and overheads

Increase power in your serves and overhead shots by channeling strength from your legs through your core and to your upper body. Reduce the risk of injury by building shoulder flexibility and stability.

3. Agility and endurance

React swiftly to your opponent’s shots by building a strong ready stance and maintain intensity for the whole match by improving cardio endurance. Develop your leg and core strength to maintain a low, athletic position that allows you to react swiftly on the court. Initiate quick movements with strong hip, glute, and thigh muscles and stay balanced by building stability in your knees and flexibility in your ankles and hips. Build endurance to out-run your opponents even in a long match.
