   Actually, you don’t have to diet per se in order to lose weight, the sole diet that definitely showed results for me is wu-yi tea, it can be viewed in the resource box below, they have a small number of free trials in stock, it has been featured in Fox News and CNN. I melted away twenty five pounds, it definitely does produce success!

   Hey! Tennis Training requires you to build up your foundational strength first. You need to perform the following training routine 2 days a week for 6-8 weeks. It focuses on the major muscle groups and aims to strengthen the whole body. It should be performed during the off-season when you have a break from playing tennis entirely. Complete the exercises in order and try to leave at least a day or two between sessions.

   You should also warm up with 10 minutes of light aerobic exercise before a tennis weight training session and cool down with 10 minutes of light exercise and some stretching exercises.

   Sets: 2-3

   Repetitions: 12-15

   Load: 40-50% 1 repetition maximum

   Rest Interval: 90 seconds

   Dumbbell Squats or Lying Leg Presses (legs, glutes)

   Dumbbell/Barbell Bench Presses or Push Ups (chest, triceps)

   Back Extensions on Stability Ball (lower back)

   Dumbbell Lunges (legs, glutes)

   Single Arm Dumbbell Rows (upper back, biceps)

   Crunches with Twist (abdominals)

   Dumbbell Shoulder Presses or Machine Shoulder Presses (shoulders, triceps)

   Standing Barbell Curls (biceps)

   Standing Machine Calf Raises (calves)

   Barbell Upright Rows (shoulders, trapezius)

   You should also perform a rotator cuff and forearm program with light weights 2-3 days a week. This can be done easily at home and should take no more than 20 minutes to complete. Try to complete the program on separate days to your weight training sessions.

   Hope this helps!

   Hi

   This article has been written for anyone who is looking to improve at the game of tennis. It covers the four key aspects of tennis that need to be developed to maximize ones improvement. No one area can be ignored as they are all as important as each other and have to integrate if you are looking to become a successful player.
   The four key aspects are:

   1) Physical
   2) Psychological
   3) Tactical
   4) Technical

   Alright first of all I have played a lot of sports so I feel I can help with this.
   Sorry but you WILL need access to a tennis court and a partner if you are thinking about going pro. The only true way to become better is through actual game experience and although it sucks, playing against better players then you. Practice is key..Committed athletes train all the time, not just during lessons. If you get bored go find a suitable wall and try to keep the ball in play or get creative by maybe trying to practice control by something as simple as hitting cans or whatever. Try finding a local tennis camp during the summer or search for tennis players in the area..Committed people are always looking for new people to play with.

   Secondly aerobic training will obviously be the main focus when exercising, but despite that some weight training should be utilized. For weight training you will want to do exercises that focus on your leg strength, wrist, and forearms (That should be focus, but you will want to balance and anything you can besides that will only help not harm). Aside from that aerobics is going to be your key..At a competitive level of tennis you will need an extreme level of stamina (meaning start running those miles!) You can have the best backhand in world but if you can’t even get to the ball because you are to tired what good is that? Which is also why leg strength is important for those constant sprints. Your jump rope will also come in handy because it not only is an aerobic exercise but it also trains coordination as well. Remember to pace at the beginning and over time you will improve..
   Lastly, diet is very important for an athlete. You are going to have to lower that body fat %. I would recommend taking whey protein after workouts because it will help build lean muscle and a multi-vitamin each day for supplements. You will need to start by cutting the soda (drink water, teas, beverages with electrolytes, did I mention water?) And needless to say junk food such as chips, cookies, whatever it may be..For your main meals you will want to eat lean meats, fish if you like any types, fruits/veggies, and etc. Carbs are exceptable but do not overdo it..Potatoes, beans, brown rice, wheat breads, certain noodles types (not fettuccine alfredo!) and etc are considered healthy choices..Diet really depends on the individual’s metabolism but the idea is the take everything in moderation.. Eating healthy doesn’t mean you can’t ever have that banana split again..

   I recently came across what has proved to be a great help (at least for me and my partner) worth checking out their web resources for tennis training techniques at:

   I have also found this site really excellent for tips and ‘mental tricks’ to get up on an opponent which is half the game of tennis at the very top levels, as you will know:

   Which just leaves this web site that has a great resource of video training which is really helpful if you are without your coach, and books and so on can’t quite communicate what is needed – really good resource I found:

   To be honest I can hardly afford tennis pro-fees so I am only telling you these resources as I could afford them alll – and unlike an hours lesson you have got them to rerfer to time and again. I hope they help this coming season.
