Rest Day
Take the time today to visit mobilitywod.blogspot.com it is a fantastic resource - especially as a tennis player. Your body is an amazing machine, but it needs routine maintenance just like any other machine. mobilitywod is not your average "reach down and touch your toes, now bring your arm across your chest" type of mobility. Kelly Starrett is a PhD physical therapist and he is generous enough to show you how to take care of yourself for free! You can do a lot of what he suggests without any equipment, but it is worth going out and buying
1 pair of lacrosse balls (sacrilege I know, but they're much firmer/solid than tennis balls)
25lbs (blue) resistance bands like the ones from www.roguefitness.com
1 foam roller - you can get these almost anywhere.
These three things will take you a long way in making yourself feel better for matches, practice, and workouts. It only takes 10 minutes a day!
Better. Tennis. Faster. --- TennisWOD provides daily workouts designed specifically for tennis players. Workouts that will make you stronger, more explosive, and less prone to injury. If you want to take your game to the next level, trade some court time for some gym time and do TennisWOD!
