I’m aiming to run a mile every other day. (This is a good idea because then I don’t get too tired out, right?)
Any general tips would be great 
Thank you!
My school’s tennis season is coming up and i’m sure i’ll make varsity, but how should I start getting ready for the season? Im pretty sure i’m out of shape since I didn’t join any winter sports, and all i’ve eaten was fastfood and junkfood. I’ve also started driving so I hardly walk nowadays. How should I start getting ready? Any tips on exercises or routines I should do? Forearm preparation tips?
I live like really far away from any tennis courts but i want to stay in shape for next years high school tennis. I can’t find any walls to hit a ball against. Are there are good exercises to keep from getting bad?
My high school tennis coach has us do an exercise for conditioning called "Iron-man" and basically what it is, is we hold a push-up in down position except we get to keep our elbows on the ground. We have to hold it that way for a minute, sometimes a minute and a half, keeping our backs straight. My coach says this is good for the abdominals, and that may be true, but I am also wondering if it is bad for the back because I KNOW that lunges (another thing that we do) is bad for your knees, and there may be a strong possibility that the Iron-man is bad for your back, because I feel tension when I do it. Any thoughts?
Is this exercise bad** for the back. Sorry I didn’t realize I spelled back twice. My bad
I’m a senior in high school, playing my last year of competitive tennis before college. I’ve had a fairly successful high school tennis career, with two State tournaments and two Regional titles. However, this year, the challenge matches have been tough, and I’m one among four girls who are challenging for the fourth doubles position on Varsity.
My coach says that the only thing keeping me from taking the spot is that my new spin serve isn’t consistent yet. So, I’ve been practicing at least one to two hours daily, just working on my serve. However, my elbow and wrist are starting to get really painful tendinitis as a result of this vigorous practice.
I’ve been wearing a brace, and I feel like I should stop and take a break for a while, but I’m also afraid if I stop practicing for the time it would take my injuries to heal, I’ll fall behind the other contenders for the Varsity spot. I have to do something, because my game gets worse as the injury gets more painful.
Any ideas?
