Padel · Preview

STEP 1

Setup

Wear court shoes and check the court surface and glass walls. Warm up your shoulders, wrists, and ankles before you start.

STEP 2

Start phase

Start with gentle rallies, using balls that rebound off the walls. Coordinate with your partner and move together.

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 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.

STEP 5

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.

STEP 6

Breathing

Exhale as you hit and keep breathing as you move. Use breaks between points to settle your breathing.

STEP 7

Coach tip

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