[@TheTennisMentor]

Thanks for watching!

[@CH-yp5by]

I'm sure this is a lot hard er than it looks!

[@watcher687]

Nice video. Thanks. How often would you recommend this to be done, say if one wants to improve their agility and footwork ( rather than maintaining it )?

[@TheTennisMentor]

It really depends on how often you play/train. You can incorporate it as a warm up for your training sessions, but it shouldn’t be your only training method. Sprint work is also important... as well as developing fast, light footwork, tennis players need big, explosive strides too, so I’d say balance ladder work with sprint work!

[@watcher687]

Great point, thanks.

[@Lgfitnessofficial]

nice

[@TheTennisMentor]

Thanks 👊

[@Lgfitnessofficial]

@@TheTennisMentor no problem

[@southwestcoyoteproductions1479]

How many sets each should be done?

[@TheTennisMentor]

It really depends on what you want to get out of it… coordination warm up/cardio workout, and also your fitness level. I like to go 3 times through each one, it gives me time to improve my foot speed on each exercise before moving on.

[@joaomariasilva5183]

Do you recommend 4m or 8m ladder?

[@TheTennisMentor]

Depends on your space… 8m is good but 4m can be put in smaller spaces!

[@alexiss7330]

do you know how many times I’ve tripped 😃

[@TheTennisMentor]
