STEP 1

Setup

Wear court shoes and check the court surface and nearby space. Warm up your shoulders, wrists, and ankles before hitting.

STEP 2

Start phase

Start with gentle rallies from the baseline. Watch the ball and keep your feet moving between shots.

STEP 3

End phase

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

STEP 4

Target muscles

Running and quick changes of direction work your cardiovascular system and whole body. Use your legs to move and rotate your torso to power each swing.

STEP 5

Common mistakes

Turn your hips and shoulders together instead of swinging with your arm alone. Check that loose balls are cleared from the court before running.

STEP 6

Breathing

Exhale as you hit and inhale as you recover. Use breaks between points to settle your breathing.

STEP 7

Coach tip

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