There’s a tennis court across the street from me and people look like they are having fun and getting exercise (both of which I need). How do I pick out a good tennis racket but I don’t want to spend too much, either. Remember, this is just fun for me.

So I’m joining my schools tennis team this spring and want to get some practice in beforehand. But my only buddy who’s any good can’t practice with me all the time.

Know any exercises I can do when I don’t have a partner to practice with? I have access to a tennis court.

I can go to a tennis court about once or twice a week, and I was wondering what some exercises I can do at home to cross-train for tennis. Right now I’m just doing sit-ups and pushups, but what else can I do to help?

I going to be a freshman in high school and I’m playing for my school’s tennis team and I was wondering what things (exercises, drills, hitting etc) could I do at home to become a better player and get in better shape for it. I live near another tennis court too.

Also what can I do about my getting nervous when playing tennis. I’m really good when I concentrate, but sometimes I get really nervous and miss the ball. What can I do to relax myself.

I’m considering starting tennis this upcoming summer and pursuing it for the next year or two but as of yet I have had no training for tennis.

I need to know what exercises I need to do in order to be ready for practice and such. By exercises, I don’t mean like exercises that involve tennis rackets or a tennis court or anything. Just normal exercises like push ups or bicep curls, things of that nature.

I saw from another yahoo answers question that the major muscles needed to be most effective in tennis were the shoulder, the forearms, and the quadriceps (excluding the obvious answers like the brain and the heart).

So what exercises do you recommend I do in order to be ready?

I was playing with my friend on a tennis court. A couple of time per weeks and then i’ve start to pratice my "services". So i kept smashing the ball but then it started to hurt a bit and then more and i had to stop playing.

This is like a year and an half ago. I’ve ask my gym trainor but he tought it could be what we call a "tennis elbow". Altough reading on the internet, a tennis elbow doesn’t refer to a bicept.

It doesn’t hurt often. Just when i use it too much and too hard, then i’ll start to feel the pain. Of course they told me the best thing would be to get some radiography but oh well …i didn’t feel the need to get to this… Still i’m wondering what could be the problem… i though that with time, the pain would go away and that i would have healed…

An exemple of what could realy hurt is if i do "crush heads" in the gym with heavy weight… after the first repetition ill start feeling it…

Any ideas?
