My pleasure! Hope it's been helpful for you!

[@nix4o493]

Warm up is underrated. I appreciate the tips on how to get yourself going before and after playing :D

[@CKYew]

Yep! Glad you found it useful and enjoyed it.

[@georgerichards809]

Warm up and cool down is always very underrated

[@CKYew]

Oh absolutely!! Prevention is better than cure!

[@huntleyn7783]

A spot on vid that I don’t even know that I needed. Great vid as always!

[@CKYew]

Staying fit and healthy helps us enjoy badminton more!

[@CKYew]

@@Bee-rr6vo glad you’ve found it useful! Prevention is always better than cure! Good luck for the match!! 😊

[@justinpascual1990]

Aside from the fatigue I think this was the main reason I wasn't able to move at the court today. Before I used to arrive early and do my warm up ritual. Today I didn't. It was a slugfest. Thank you for the reminders!

[@CKYew]

Haha i know that feeling really well! Take care and stay healthy!

[@justinpascual1990]

@@CKYew I can also relate to your story re getting injured. For the sake of longevity, mobility strength and flexibility are priorities. Love the high quality videos man. Keep em coming!

[@bryanchun5491]

Aloha CK, awesome warm up exercises. Thank you. Stay well.

[@CKYew]

Thank you! You too!

[@bounce1603]

As a physio student,i really amaze by how correct/detailed with your video. Most of coaches they often misunderstanding the differences between warm up and stretching. So thumbs up from me

[@carlantaya175]

Great advice.

[@Roger-yj1vd]

Yeah mate is back

[@CKYew]

Yayyyyyyy!

[@aaravkumar1425]

Fantastic video once again. Ever wondered to review Astrox 100 ZX?

[@CKYew]

Thank you for your support!! I think the 100ZX is the same racket as the Tour. Just painted differently 😬

[@Alchemist_7]

Great video, could u tell me advantages and disadvantages of high tension or low tension? And what tension u play at??

[@CKYew]

Ultimately its all down to personal preference, physical and technical ability. There's no right or wrong with string tensions, it's all down to personal preference. Tighter strings will feel stiffer and perhaps better control (some say). Softer strings will result in a slightly bigger sweetspot and easier power generation if you're not technically and physically strong. And as for me, I like my strings around 27 or 28lbs generally.

[@ronaknthakker]

Amazing compilation. So helpful! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼😀

[@CKYew]

Glad they’re helpful! Do share it with your badminton buddies too so they can avoid injuries 👍🏼

[@abdulbari5745]

Great video. I've had a similar injury with a rotator cuff ( just a tear though) and realised the importance of strengthening and stretching that particular muscle. Try tying the band around both your wrist and pushing the wrist away from the body with your elbows tucked in. Hope that made sense. It really gets the shoulders fired up.

[@CKYew]

Thanks! warmups and cool downs are so so important 👍

[@siamsikder2331]

Can u make a video about yonex racket durability plz🥰 Have you broken any 2nd generation yonex racket?

[@CKYew]

I've never had any issues with genuine Yonex rackets or any other brands' durability as they never break unless you've had a clash or hit it against something hard too.

[@nancybaughman1197]

But I love this ❤️❤️ ✅✌🏼

[@CKYew]

Nice!

[@iwng54]

You did not touch the racket at all during the warmup session. How is this warmup relevant?

[@CKYew]

Great question! It's because the 'racket warm up' comes after this warm up routine. There also another list of exercises that we go through during our racket warm up before play so we are ready and zoned in!
