Badminton · Preview
Setup
Wear indoor court shoes and check the floor and space around the court. Warm up your shoulders, wrists, and ankles before you start.
Start phase
Start with clears and rallies at a comfortable pace. Return to the center of the court after each shot.
End phase
Slow your rallies and walk as you finish. Let your breathing settle, then check your workout duration.
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.
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.
Breathing
Exhale as you hit the shuttlecock and keep breathing as you move. Use breaks between rallies to settle your breathing.
Coach tip
Record the time spent playing badminton. Do not enter scores, rally counts, or distance.
