Even the most seasoned tennis player can improve his or her game through conditioning and strength training. If you would like to improve your range of motion, footwork, speed, and power, consider the following training tips.
-Train on your feet. Tennis is played in a standing position, so training should be completed in the same position. Consider standing bodyweight exercises such as squats and lunges.
-Begin with bodyweight exercises, and advance to free weights. Mastering bodyweight exercises improves stabilization, and adding weight will increase the impact. Avoid strength training machines, as these control the range of motion for you.
-Practice explosive movements. Tennis is about moving very quickly, sometimes from a standstill. Try squat jumps, side-to-side jumps, and other sudden motions very quickly, while focusing on form.
