Dumbell FlysAgain do 12-15 repetitions. Start with one set and gradually build to three. Follow the example in the animation and keep the form correct. Remember to go slowly and control the weight. |
Cable exercises are especially good for tennis. They provide a range of motion that simulates the actual execution of strokes. Start with a weight that allows you to do 12 reps. Build to three sets of 15 repetitions over stage one. A lot of players have problems putting the ball away because they lack the strength in the shoulder. These are excellent exercises to help develop that. |

The shoulders are among the most important muscles for
tennis. Top tennis players never have large chests or pectoral muscles
but strength in the deltoids is critical. There are three areas of the deltoid to work. First the side, second the front, third from this bend position. This position is especially important if you don't have access to the cable crossover machines. |
