To help players get back to match fitness, LTA’s expert coach, Isla Smith, has created a series of easy-to-follow tennis-specific fitness workouts. This is the first in a series of videos that give you a range of different tennis-specific strength and conditioning exercises that cater for all levels and abilities, whilst helping you to improve various parts of your game.

This Baseline Warrior session focuses on exercises that enhance movements required to be effective from the back of the court, with lots of lateral movement and rotational exercises.

The full-body workout achieves calorie burn whilst lifting the heart rate to improve fitness levels. It also provides the opportunity to strengthen and tone both upper and lower body with glute activation as a priority. Bounce or step between exercises for recovery.

If this fitness routine is not for you, check out the LTA Tennis at Home Hub, where you will find a plethora of exercises at different levels, including Seated Yoga and Standing Stretches from LTA Physiotherapist Anna Poyser.
