Padel · Preview
Setup
Wear court shoes and check the court surface and glass walls. Warm up your shoulders, wrists, and ankles before you start.
Start phase
Start with gentle rallies, using balls that rebound off the walls. Coordinate with your partner and move together.
End phase
Slow your rallies and walk as you finish. Let your breathing settle, then check your workout duration.
Target muscles
Quick movements and changes of direction work your cardiovascular system and whole body. Use your legs to move and your torso and arm to swing the racket.
Common mistakes
Stay aware of the walls and your partner's racket as you move. Wear the racket's wrist strap so it does not slip from your hand.
Breathing
Exhale as you hit and keep breathing as you move. Use breaks between points to settle your breathing.
Coach tip
Record the time spent playing padel. Do not enter scores, rally counts, or distance.
