Playing your best on the tennis court requires strength, endurance, flexibility and coordination. All of these things can be approved upon with the right exercises, thus making you stronger, faster and able to play harder and longer sets.
There are a lot of things you can do to increase your overall playing ability:
-Practice slow bursts of exercise like sprinting, jumping and fiercely swinging the racket.
-Allowing yourself minimal recovery periods during exercise. Tennis is a fast-paced game that lends itself to very little downtime on the court.
-Run using a lot of lateral movement.
-Work on increasing your endurance for longer playing times.
There are two main categories of fitness needed for improving your tennis game:
1. Physical - your fitness level, flexibility capabilities and strength are all important in order to play the best possible game.
2. Mental - coordination skills, and tactical ability are both needed in order to play tennis well.
So, what types of exercises should you be doing in order to play better and ward off injuries on the court? Try a few of these to both improve your play and your endurance:
Shuttle Sprints:
Run from the baseline to serving barrier and back again as fast as you can.
Ball Retrieval:
Place a line of balls along the fence, then run as fast as you can, picking one up at a time and running back to place it in the basket. Time yourself to see how fast you can do it.
Ball Drops:
Have a partner hold balls and drop them without notice while you try and grab them before they bounce on the ground.
Balloon and Foot Balance:
Blow up two balloons and try and keep them in the air by either hitting them with your racket or by using your foot. It may sound easy, but it isn’t!
Ball and Shoulder Catch:
While looking straight ahead, have a partner drop balls over your shoulder as you try and hit them with your racket into the net.
Improving your tennis game requires a strong upper and lower body. To strengthen your lower body, try a few of these easy exercises:
-High knee run.
-Leg squats.
-Front and rear lunges and walking squats.
For a great upper body workout try these simple strengthening exercises:
-Punching.
-Three-quarter presses.
-Speedball.
-Swinging.
-Tricep dips.
Before attempting any of these exercises, be sure to stretch properly both before and after your workout to avoid injuries, pace yourself. Remember, it takes time to build up your body strength and endurance. Start with a 30 minute cardio workout three times a week, then when comfortable, add a day or two of strength training in addition to your regular exercise routine and watch your game on the court improve!

The sound of snoring is caused by air struggling to pass through your nose and throat. If they are blocked or obstructed in some way, it can lead to snoring.
One of the more common reasons for snoring is when the muscles in the neck and throat are not well toned. With some simple daily exercises, you can firm up those muscles which will often help with your snoring.
Ask any professional singer and they’ll tell you how important it is to do exercise daily that will help keep their air passages clear. Singers do exercises that help to tone their jaws, their tongues and their throats. Strong muscles in these areas will help them perform better.
These same type of exercises can help with a snoring problem in many cases, by helping to keep the airways clear and breathing easier.
Besides, you never know - these exercise might just help you win American Idol some day!
Here are 7 easy exercises that you can do anywhere to help tone your muscles:
1. Slowly open and close your mouth, to its fullest. Do it in a controlled way and ensure that your lips meet when your mouth is closed.
2. Pucker up as if you’re going to blow someone a kiss, then hold it for 5 seconds before relaxing.
3. Practice your smile - make it big and exaggerated. Hold it for 5 second before relaxing.
4. Press your lips together and hold them tightly for 5 seconds, then relax.
5. Press your lips together and then make a sipping noise, as if you were sipping a drink.
6. Stick your tongue out as far as you can. Keep it straight and horizontal - don’t let it droop.
7. Stick your tongue out to it’s maximum and then move it side to side - touching the corner of your lips on both sides.
Practice these exercises for a few minutes every day and you may find your snoring problem will disappear before you know it.
