Top tennis players need to be light on their feet and skipping is one of the best exercises to achieve this. An elite player can skip 1,000 times in five minutes, which shows how light their feet are and how developed their endurance systems are. To try and achieve this target, break the process down into intervals:-
For example
10 seconds on - 10 seconds off: x 10 repetitions Then try… Then try…
Aim for 200 skips
Perform
these exercises in a running skip pattern (left toe, right toe, left
toe, right toe) and every three months test yourself over five minutes.
This is very very tough, so start slowly and build up progressively.
Make sure you stretch well, especially your calves and don't forget
massage to help regenerate your aching calves.
