Hello, hello, hello.

Speaker: 00:00:28

This is Coach Geovi in the reGeovinate.com fitness, health, and wellness online studio with

Speaker: 00:00:34

today's fitness tip for tennis players.

Speaker: 00:00:37

Practice your Pilates for injury prevention.

Speaker: 00:00:39

Pilates' breathing is already used by the best tennis players.

Speaker: 00:00:43

Just look at the serve.

Speaker: 00:00:45

We inhale when we toss and exhale into the point of contact.

Speaker: 00:00:49

The same Pilates' breathing goes through our forehands and back hands as we exhale into

Speaker: 00:00:54

the point of contact.

Speaker: 00:00:56

This brings you into balance with full core activation and therefore into full body control.

Speaker: 00:01:02

Incorporate the Pilates' 100 for core strength.

Speaker: 00:01:04

If you need to know more about the 100, check out the link in the show notes.

Speaker: 00:01:09

It's all about the core, baby.

Speaker: 00:01:11

And lastly, do your daily leg circles to improve range of motion in your hips.

Speaker: 00:01:16

Stretch and strengthen your hip flexors, as well as increase flexibility in your legs and

Speaker: 00:01:21

spine.

Speaker: 00:01:22

Good luck to everyone heading out to your matches this week and remember to stay positive

Speaker: 00:01:27

and test negative.

Speaker: 00:01:29

And as always, may the courts be with you.

Speaker: 00:01:32

Nos vemos mañana.
