]]>Yoga forms a vital part of Serena Williams’ daily morning routine. Still, this 23-time Grand Slam winner doesn’t forget to perform essential stretches before her workouts, for example, stretching her hip flexors.
With 17 career titles under her belt, this 26-year-old tennis star has been in fine form since giving birth to her daughter. Elina Svitolina’s intense leg workout includes an array of simple yet testing movements, including jumping squats, lunges, and lying leg lifts.
At just 23 years old, Bianca Andreescu’s career has skyrocketed since she won the 2019 US Open. This Canadian star’s workout regimen includes a range of workout equipment, including a yoga mat, medicine ball, dumbbell, and long bands. As she said, however, you can replace this equipment with household items if you do not have access to it.

]]>The tennis tournament has been around since 1877 and is a great believer in tradition. So much so that female players have had to abide by a certain dress code over the centuries. According to the Wimbledon rule book, players must be dressed entirely in white, including their undergarments.
“Any undergarments that either are or can be visible during play (including due to perspiration) must also be completely white except for a single trim of colour no wider than one centimetre.”
The rule has stood since Victorian times, but things become uncomfortable for women around that time of the month. Just ask any woman on her period and she will confirm that white is the one color she will strongly avoid.
Female players have been asking for years for the strict law to change, but it was only in November of last year that their plea was taken seriously. Wimbledon officials announced that they would make amends to the dress code, allowing “solid, mid/dark-coloured undershorts provided they are no longer than their shorts or skirt.”
And with the 2023 tournament now underway, we are seeing that reform in action for the first time.
Kazakhstani athlete, Elena Rybakina, was the first player to wear dark shorts during the competition.
“One thing is to deal on the court with your opponent, with your own stress and nerves, and if you have additional stress of thinking about the period and stuff, and if your skirt will get dirty, it’s additional stress which you don’t want to think about,” Rybanika explained. “So finally we’ve got this little adjustment, and I don’t think it’s gonna hurt the tournament, but for the players, for us, for the girls, it’s going to be such a big deal.”

According to Wimbledon’s dress code, competitors must be dressed in suitable tennis attire that is almost entirely white. White does not include off-white or cream, and while a single trim of color around the neckline or cuff of the sleeves is acceptable, it must be no wider than one centimeter.
There has now been an update regarding outfits, following discussions with the Women’s Tennis Association, clothing manufacturers, and medical teams about how to “best to support women and girls competing at The Championships”.
Female athletes will now be permitted to wear mid-to dark-colored undershorts, provided that they are not longer than the player’s shorts or skirt.

]]>If you’re looking to work out not just solo, but with your friend or significant other, then tennis is even more perfect for you because you can play doubles. It’s quite common for couples to team up and play 2 on 2 against other couples. This can be a good way for you two to bond as well as exercise, have fun, and be competitive together.
Speaking of exercise, tennis is a great cardio exercise. It involves you running around constantly, both laterally and horizontally, to the point where you’ll find yourself getting a real serious workout.
As mentioned earlier, tennis is also a very fun sport that’ll make you forget that you’re even working out. You and your partner will love the experience of doing something fun together that also keeps you fit.

]]>Most people aren’t ready to admit this, but playing tennis in the summer is actually the worst. You must schedule your court time around the heat and still have to deal with hot temperatures even once you do it. You won’t have to deal with this problem in the fall because the temperatures are lower and you can finally enjoy pleasant tennis lessons.
Staying active in the fall can be extra hard and we need all the motivation that we can get. One of the easiest ways to stay motivated is to find a fun activity that you enjoy, and tennis falls under that category.
Even if you’re staying active in the fall, you’re probably doing it indoors. Tennis is one of those activities that allow you to head out and enjoy some fall foliage. Until it gets too cold and rainy, you should head to the tennis court whenever you get the chance.

]]>White clothes became a symbol of this sport over the years, but players don’t only wear them because they look nice. White and light-colored clothing absorbs less heat and you should incorporate it into your tennis training because it will help you stay cool.
In addition to coming in lighter colors, your workout clothes should also be breathable and lightweight. Materials like this will pull the sweat away from your skin and prevent you from overheating quickly.
Hats are another key part of tennis gear that players wear out of necessity, and not to simply look cool. They make it possible to shade yourself and keep the sun from blasting at you. You can also use them to keep the sweat from your eyes, and wearing a sweatband is also a good idea for that same reason.

]]>Tennis is incredibly efficient at working out the whole body. Not only are you strengthening your arms each time to hit the ball with your racket, but you are working out your core, leg muscles, shoulders, and back.
The quick sprinting bursts and constant alert posture of tennis really improve cardio and gets the heart pumping. Tennis also requires lots of bending, squatting and stretching which gets the blood pumping around the whole body, not just in particular areas.
Few sports surpass tennis in the coordination department. You always need to know what your feet are doing as well as your arms, your opponent and the ball. This kind of disparate concentration is a great workout for the brain and its cognitive functions.
Finally, tennis is a top sport for strengthening the joints. While it is not advisable if you have weak joints, the high-stress levels absorbed by the joints when playing tennis help strengthen the ligaments and reinforce smooth movement.

]]>You need good balance in order to play tennis and the sport is a great way to improve it. You need to balance using a racquet with all the other moves and that’s not easy at the beginning, but gets much easier as your balance improves.
You need to cover the whole court while playing tennis and move to many different sides, which makes this sport a great chance for improving agility. You’ll also move vertically in order to catch low balls and go overhead for volleys and serves.
You need a partner to play tennis, and you will always be challenging each other as you get better. Team sports are an opportunity for socializing and decrease the risk of depression, especially among older adults.
