3b. Given yourself self – assessment and the advise your doctor, you need to setup a desirable, but realistic exercise regimen that addresses your individual needs.
Much of this plan should include cross training, running, biking, swimming, walking, and strength training are often part of the mix. Make certain that your plan is viable. You must be able to find time to do what you set out to do. It may mean rising a little earlier and getting out before you head work.

3a. Before you begin any exercise regimen, it is imperative that you discuss your plans with your physician. An annual Check – up is a good idea, and discuss your plans for the coming season.
3. Now you have your frames in order, we move to the question of overall physical condition. Here, you must be brutally honest with yourself. Are you carrying any extra weight from the winter? Are you in good aerobic shape? Do you fatigue easily? Are you moving with speed? How is your body’s flexibility?
2b. If you are satisfied with your old frames, you will want to have each frame re-strung. Old strings that have been in the frame for a few months become brittle and lose their elasticity. Have your racquets strung by a Certified Stringer Technician. A certified racquet technician will go beyond stringing and examine the frame for grip wear, grommet damage, and any potential problems. It’s worth the money. The spring is usually cooler than temperatures associated with the summer months. This cooler, spring temperature makes the stings constrict a bit more than they would during the summer. The reduced effective tension that results from 15 – gauge string is offset by the cooler temperature’s constricting effect.
a. Let’s start with equipment.
You may want to consider a new racquet…if and only if…your old frame is either “dead” or in some way inadequate.Over time, even the best racquets lose their ability to flex. Literally, they get beat up to a point where they are no longer responsive…a trait which is labeled as “dead”. Your old racquet may not provide the power, balance or maneuverability that you desire. In these situations, its is probably time to start trying out different frames. Unfortunately, the demo frames may not be strung at your preferred tension or not have your size grip. Still, trying a demo is better than buying a racquet “blind.” 2. The second step is to take inventory.
Before you can mover forward, you need to be aware of your starting point. Tennis is a game that requires conditioning, well – developed strokes and competitive determination. Each of those areas should be examined carefully and honestly. Stay tune for next step. Do you know what to do?
New Year’s resolution. However, this is a resolution that you need to keep. Stay tune for next step. |
