EXERCISE TIP OF THE SEASON

TENNIS- Carl Petersen BPE, BSc. (PT)

The summer tennis season is upon us and anyone playing will want to get fit to play & swing. Before you hit that first ball ensure you have done a proper dynamic warm-up for both your lower body and upper body. Click on the links for PDF showing lower body warm-ups for tennis. Good luck this summer.
