Tennis Fitness: 10 Exercises to Improve Your Game

Tennis Fitness Training

Tennis demands a unique combination of explosive power, endurance, flexibility, and agility. These ten exercises target the specific physical qualities that make a better tennis player.

1. Lateral Shuffles

Set up two cones 5 meters apart. Shuffle laterally between them, staying low with bent knees. This mirrors the court movement pattern of a rally. Do 30-second sets.

2. Medicine Ball Rotational Throws

Stand sideways to a wall, hold a medicine ball at hip height, and rotate explosively to throw it against the wall. This develops the rotational power used in groundstrokes.
