Taught by a Certified Tennis Professional, a typical Cardio Tennis program includes a short dynamic warm-up, a cardio workout, and a cool down phase. The majority of the Cardio Tennis program is the "workout" phase, which should last 30-50 minutes. Most of this portion will include fast-paced drills where the professional feeds balls to players based on their ability and fitness level. Pros will find ways to keep players moving and challenged… all while having fun!

Cardio Tennis is a new, fun, group activity featuring drills to give players of all abilities an ultimate, high-energy workout. If you want to find a healthy, new way to get in shape and to burn calories, you ought to try Cardio Tennis.

Participants consistently elevate their heart rates into their aerobic training zone. You can burn more calories than singles or doubles tennis. You get short cycles of high intensity workout and periods of rest, almost like interval training. It is a fun, group activity where players of all abilities enjoy tennis together. While you are "playing" tennis, the primary focus is on getting a great workout.

Cardio Tennis programs run from as short as a 45 minute session to much longer. We recommend a 60 minute program, as Americans are time crunched and want to get a great workout in an hour or less. Check with your local facility for the actual program length.

Our goal is to keep all players working out below their maximum heart rate and in their aerobic training zone.

The recommended frequency for a Cardio Tennis type workout by the American College of Sports Medicine is 3-5 times per week. of all players in our test programs liked using heart rate monitors. While we recommend the use of heart rate monitors, this decision is up to the local facility.

There are 3 segments: warm up, cardio workout and the cool down segments. Each one has drills specifically designed to be fun, challenging and to get you moving. You will hit forehands, backhands, volleys, etc. But remember, Cardio Tennis is not about making you a great player. First and foremost, Cardio Tennis is a great workout. You run, you hit balls, you jump, you recover, and you have fun. Cardio Tennis is a full body workout. And, in some programs they even have music.

While other activities will give you a great workout, Cardio Tennis challenges you in so many ways. Running, moving sideways, stretching, etc. Your heart rate will also go through high intensity segments…followed by a short period of recovery. This is very similar to interval training. One of the major benefits is that you will have a much more social experience.

Leaders in our industry looked at consumer research which revealed trends for Americans gravitating to high energy, fitness activities. They realized our sport had some existing programs that already offered a great cardio workout but have never been packaged professionally. We studied these programs, improved upon them, and now are rolling out a suggested approach nationally so all Americans can benefit from the great workout you get from Cardio Tennis.

Tennis elbow, or lateral epicondylitis, is one of the most common elbow ailments in orthopaedic medicine. Tennis elbow is tendinitis of the muscle called the extensor carpi radialis brevis which attaches to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. It may be caused by a sudden injury such as a blow, or by repetitive use of the arm in an activity, like tennis or racquetball. It's a common belief among doctors that micro tears in the tendon lead to a hyper-vascular phenomenon resulting in pain.

Do It Tennis uses a proprietary rating system to evaluate used tennis rackets. A used racket with a rating of "10" is in new condition, and a rating of "1" is in poor shape. Here are the exact details: This racquet has scratches on the bumper guard and frame. Also, some of the paint has been chipped off the racquet. The grip has been worn down a little bit. This racquet has substantial wear on the frame. The bumper guard has worn off the top of the racquet and the frame shows some weakness.

Eastern Forehand Grip: Most beginners are taught this basic, but classic, grip. Start by placing your palm on the side plane of the handle on a parallel plane to the strings and grip the racket. Keep your wrist straight but not stiff. Hold the racket out to your side, even with the hip, and notice that the face of the racket is vertical but ready to tilt (by rotating your wrist) for slicing the ball.

Research shows that Vibration training does not stress the cardio system. This is beneficial to those individuals that cannot handle the demands of conventional strength training, which may put a stress on their cardiovascular system. However, if you want to add a cardio component to the exercises, you can easily increase the difficulty of the exercise with less breaks in between.

The WAVE was designed to be gentle on the cardiovascular system. This is the reason it can be used by people who can't stress their cardiovascular system. However, you can get a cardio effect by increasing the intensity of the exercise, decreasing the rest time or adding extra weight. WAVE provides protocols that are catered to each individual's specific needs. WAVE vibration was designed to recruit more muscle fibers due to its ability to affect the stretch reflex.

Up until September 2, 2003 my weight training equipment consisted of a cheap bench with butterfly and leg attachments, a barbell and a complete set of hex dumbbells (5-70 pounds in 5-pound increments). My cardio equipment includes a stationary bike, and an elliptical. Since September 3, 2003 I have upgraded my equipment and completely remodeled my home gym a couple of times.

How you schedule your weekly training depends on your goals and free time. All HyperStrike workouts can be performed back-to-back. We have structured our workouts to balance development between muscle groups and energy systems. With HyperStrike you do not need to keep track of which muscle groups you are training on specific days of the week. All of the "best-practices" in program design have been incorporated into the HyperStrike workouts for you.

HyperStrike Trainers recommend scheduling two days per week of strength training and 2 days per week of cardio/conditioning. This schedule has produced excellent results with clients at our California facility. Of course if you are an endurance athlete you will want to schedule more cardio/conditioning. If you are in the performance program you may require more strength training days and fewer conditioning days.

In the Hyperstrike training plan, peak physical condition is developed in six phases. The goals of each cardio phase are decreasing body fat, increasing in work capacity and improving cardio-respiratory fitness.

Fasted cardio is unnecessary. Just do your cardio and watch your diet, if you want to lose fat. If you've eaten before cardio, you have more energy to use => more cals burned => greater caloric deficit.
