Anything from the typical housewife looking to shed a few pounds to the experienced-athletic C.E.O. who would like to become a full-distance Ironman Triathlete.

PreTennis Warmup:Reduce Injury/Enhance Performance

Every Tennis player should get into the habit of doing some kind of a "pre-warmup" warmup, before the one ever even picks up the racquet. It's quick and over time you will decrease your odds of an injury and shortly players begin to notice a difference in their performance. A warm-up eases you into your routine, slowly getting your heart rate up and increasing blood flow to the muscles. Move before your match. Warm muscles are more responsive than cold ones, Start out with a 5 min jog around the court, very light. follow the jog with a series of lunges. Below are direction of how to do a lunge. If you've never done these before I don't recommend any more than 4-6 and 6-10 if you're experienced. Take your time and take deep breaths. Lunges are perfect for a tennis player, working all the major muscles worked while playing.(glutes, calves, hamstrings, and quadriceps) ((1) Step forward with your left leg. Bending at your knee and hip, lower your body until your right knee almost touches the ground. Keep your back straight and your left knee behind your toes.( (2) Push off your right leg to stand up, then step forward with it. (3) Lower your body so your left knee almost touches the ground. Continue alternating legs 4-10 times on each side. Good luck, and feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns. See you on the court! J
