STEP 1

Setup

Wear indoor court shoes and check the floor and space around the court. Warm up your shoulders, wrists, and ankles before you start.

STEP 2

Start phase

Start with clears and rallies at a comfortable pace. Return to the center of the court after each shot.

STEP 3

End phase

Slow your rallies and walk as you finish. Let your breathing settle, then check your workout duration.

STEP 4

Target muscles

Quick footwork and jumps work your cardiovascular system and whole body. Use your legs to support lunges and your shoulders and torso to power overhead shots.

STEP 5

Common mistakes

Keep your knee pointing in the same direction as your toes when you lunge. Keep a safe distance from your partner's racket in doubles.

STEP 6

Breathing

Exhale as you hit the shuttlecock and keep breathing as you move. Use breaks between rallies to settle your breathing.

STEP 7

Coach tip

Record the time spent playing badminton. Do not enter scores, rally counts, or distance.
