Tennis Exercises – 3 Tips To Strength Without Adding Size
When going through the process of tennis exercises a common problem that people have is that they just want to increase their strength without adding on a bulky and muscular physique. Do not fear! There are ways you can use tennis exercises to increase your strength but not add on any of that extra bulk.
What you want to do is target a low rep and use a heavy weight. This will target building strength and power gains. You want to look to lift as heavy weights as you can e.g. some bodybuilders bench press a heavy weight for 1 rep (the heaviest they can lift) and then they increase that weight gradually therefore increasing their strength.
To add on size you need to fuel your body to do that. So you want to deprive your body by decreasing the amount of calories you are eating. This doesn’t mean skip meals but instead eat different foods that have less calories. Simple changes can make a big difference such as having a low fat milk or cutting out those sweets and soda for fruit and water. Make sure that you find out how much calories you need to maintain your weight as you don’t want to make lose muscle mass at the same time!
Tennis is a fast passed game that requires you to be in tip top condition however the tennis fitness drills you go through should be done to a limit! This way you avoid losing muscles mass, injury and limiting your strength gains!

Strengthening Shoulder Muscles - Important!
An important part of tennis fitness is to make sure you are fit and healthy to play which means avoiding injuries! A common injury that occurs in tennis is a rotator cuff injury. This injury can be caused by repetitive and strenuous movements of the shoulder which increases the chances of being injured just by playing tennis.
What to avoid...
Just like tennis elbow this injury can cause a lot of pain and the only thing a doctor will do is give you a course of anti-inflammatory medication and tell you to rest. After 2 weeks or so you will realize that the pain will disappear and you will jump straight back onto the court but that will just result in you being injured once again and starting off at square 1.
So what do I do?
The reason for a rotator cuff injury firstly is strenuous activity in the shoulder and the best way to bypass this is to increase the muscles in your shoulder!
You can do this in the comfort of your own home by picking up a few weights (LIGHT!) and doing some exercises which are targeted to the shoulder such as front raises, bicep curls, side raises etc.
By keeping this in mind you will keep yourself injury free and manage to maintain your level of tennis fitness.

Tennis Fitness Tip - Interval Training
Interval training is one of the best things you can include in your tennis fitness routine.
Tennis is a game of stamina and explosiveness, not long distance running. It is quick, not slow. For this reason you want to be using interval training in your routine instead of long distance runs.
What is interval training?
Interval training is the method of doing something at a high intensitty for a period of time and then resting for a shorter time and then repeating the whole process. For example the most known old fashioned interval training would be to sprint at a high intensity for 20-30 seconds and then to rest for 10. After the rest you sprint again and then rest and so forth.
This will tire you out quickly but is a great way to increase your stamina and endurance which you NEED in your tennis games.
Other tennis fitness routines which use interval training could be "the bleep test", "trabata rounds" and you can also use a punch bag for interval training too!
There are many methods you can use but if you really want to see results in your tennis fitness then check out MyTennisFitnessPlan.com for a step-by-step video course which will help you increase your level of fitness, energy levels, mental focus and the amount of strength and power you can generate.
