Tennis · Preview
Setup
Wear court shoes and check the court surface and nearby space. Warm up your shoulders, wrists, and ankles before hitting.
Start phase
Start with gentle rallies from the baseline. Watch the ball and keep your feet moving between shots.
End phase
Slow your rallies and walk around the court as you finish. Let your breathing settle, then check your workout duration.
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.
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.
Breathing
Exhale as you hit and inhale as you recover. Use breaks between points to settle your breathing.
Coach tip
Record the time spent playing tennis. Do not enter scores, rally counts, or distance.
