Split squat is a very good lover body exercise for tennis players to do. With the split squat you can correct the imbalance of the strength of your right and left leg if you have any. That is why this exercise is so powerful for tennis players since many tennis players have imbalance in their right and left leg.

The primary muscles that are targeted in split squat are the glutes, hamstrings and quads. You will also stretch your hip flexor of your back leg when doing the split squat.

You can start to do this exercise at the age of 10 with just your body weight. Make sure you are focusing on the correct technique.

Today’s tennis strength exercise is for the legs, squat with pull up band. I love this exercise because the only equipment you need is a pull up band, and the exercise is perfect for all ages. You can perform this exercise anywhere, at home, the tennis court or at the hotel.

If you want the exercise to be harder, the only thing you have to do is using a heavier pull up band. However, you should master the regular squat with your bodyweight first before adding resistance to the squat.

You can start to do the squat with a pull up band at the age of 12.

Lunge is an exercise that every tennis player should do. I usually use walking lunge as a dynamic warm up for kids that are 8 years and up. In my opinion the earlier they learn the technique of a lunge the better it is. Because when you play tennis, you have to use this skill when you play low ground strokes or volleys. What many people have a problem with is that they have poor posture when hitting low balls. For example, bending their back instead of bending their knees. So this is a good fitness exercise for tennis technique on low balls, and for strengthening your hamstrings, gluteals, and quadriceps. Read more…
