Hello greg jenny thank you for inspiring me to play badminton and all of your video help’s me a lot and I’m improving my badminton skills and you guys help a lot and I watch your video’s and you guys make me smile so thank you so much

[@BadmintonInsight]

Wow thank you so much 🤗

[@huntercodm4553]

Omg thank you so much for noticing

[@ManikandanNadar]

This is wonderful and so very important. Like warm-up cooling down is equally important. Thanks folks!

[@chris24lsj]

Great information once again guys. I especially like the fact that you included some stretches. I hope that everyone looking at this video adds this to their routine if they don't do it.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@kkhchannel4813]

Love how you guys can cover these (what I think) boring topics with some lightness and jokes. Props the your videography/editing skills and the thoughts that goes behind it!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thank you so much ☺️ haha we also think they’re boring but very important so we want to make videos on them! Just trying to make them enjoyable for others 😅

[@yoshi01_10]

Great video! Added it to my playlist so after every badminton session, I can refer to your video on the different cool down exercises! Thanks for the regular upload! The video was short and easy to understand!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Great to hear you enjoyed it, thank you 😄

[@JwaleetPainter]

Thank you so much for this. After my club nights I used to be very sore the next day and my knee start to make popping noises leading to knee pains. But, thanks to you guys I’m less sore and not having those knee pains anymore.

[@BadmintonInsight]

You’re very welcome! That’s great to hear 😀 Keep it up!

[@Globoks]

Thanks Jenny and Greg for covering this important topic! As for an idea for another video, maybe you could tell more about the shuttlecocks themselves. What are the differences between them, which ones are worth buying and which ones aren't, and how important is it to use the right ones during practice?

[@BadmintonInsight]

Glad you liked the topic - not many others are interested judging by the current views compared to our other videos 😂 Interesting idea - we will add it to our list! For now we would say if possible practice with what you use in matches!

[@Fedibow]

YES ! I was hoping you'll do a video about recovery and stretching after a match or training ! So happy ! I can hear everything about stretching in my club : "it's useless !" , "Do it the day after" bla bla bla ... So now I have a video made by pros to prove that is a big deal ! ( just like warm up) Thanks Greg and Jenny ! Can wait to see you next sunday

[@BadmintonInsight]

Glad you enjoyed it! ☺️

[@lethargic_cow]

As usual very useful! Often times when I play group games I get into post-game socializing & ignore cool downs but you're right about how important this is for longevity! I use both foam roller & massage gun, they're excellent! Thank you for sharing!

[@BadmintonInsight]

Awesome to hear 👍🏼🏸

Haha good job 🤪

[@ghsproductions]

Thankyou Sir & Ma'am I always had shoulder pain and never knew about the cooldown.

[@bryanchun5491]

Aloha Greg and Jenny, awesome video. Commonly, I rarely see any players warm up before and cool down after playing. The result has been many injuries and falls suffered, some so bad it ended their playing altogether. Others limit their play to only a few games due to aches and limited muscle range. During training my professional coaches required warm up and cool down routines before coming on and stepping off the courts. I do so now out of habit. Little did I realize the wisdom of their training. Thanks for placing emphasis on this very important overlooked practice.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thank you for the lovely comment Bryan - glad you found the video useful!

[@miguelv2985]

Thanks guys! This is really helpful! I have the massage gun but never thought of using it as a post cooling down routine!

[@BadmintonInsight]

[@fuelsbadman8881]

I’m always looking out for the weekly releases, highlight of my Sunday :D. Can i make a video request though? I would love it if you guys can make a tutorial on how i can improve my drive game in doubles, the techniques of the drives and when to do them. I would love to be able to incorporate the drive game to my doubles matches. Much love guys! PS: greg at 2:31 😊

[@BadmintonInsight]

Thank you so much! And good spot 😆 Have you watched these two videos? kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHqmqZ6Ia6ecoKs and kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGfQhoyJhd93l5Y

[@fuelsbadman8881]

@@BadmintonInsight i have watched them, however i will watch it again! I just have trouble with when to take the shot and when would be a time to play the drive shots. I also would like to learn how people could return the shuttle so close to the top of the net when they play drive shots because i drives are never low enough and it makes it so easy for the opponents to smash the shuttle :D

[@abhianikurapati3467]

@@fuelsbadman8881 I guess it's all your practice keeping those points in mind after watching those videos

[@abhianikurapati3467]

Or you can also learn it just by watching top players doing them in the matches in some closer angles dude

Thank you so much guys because of you my numbness in upper parts of my thighs are gone shouldv seen you guys sooner thanks ❤

[@pepijnhelleman4149]

How shortly after a session/match should one do the stretching for cooling-down? Immediately afterwards or is 20 minutes after the session also still beneficial? Thanks a lot for the Insight!

[@drewbrooke-mellor1519]

Spotted Greg! Another great video and your AV production is going from strength to strength as the weeks go on. I'm adding these exercises to your weight training and core exercise programmes which I purchased from your website. Thanks for a really enjoyable and well rounded set of training tools.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Wow thank you so much Drew 🤗👍🏼

[@jasperbo6435]

Hello Greg and Jenny, I’m a new badminton player who just started learning the jump smash. I noticed that when you guys and other badminton players do the jump smash, your legs are folded in the air for awhile. Does the folding of legs come naturally or do I need to fold them while jumping? Sometimes I fold them too much and ended up not being able to hit the shuttle well. That is one question I have always had in mind, would appreciate if you can clarify, thank you!! Sorry for the irrelevant question to the video.

[@BadmintonInsight]

Hi Jasper! Yes it generally comes naturally during the jumping motion. Don't try to force this is it can often take your mind away from the other (more important) technical parts of the shot! Hope that helps 😊

[@jasperbo6435]

@@BadmintonInsight Hi Thank you for the reply! Are there any steps in particular that I should take note of in order for my legs to bend naturally in the air? Thanks in advance 😊

[@neothaka]

I ignored this when I first started playing, then suffered an Achilles heel injury. I'll never skip cool down and stretching again. It's not worth it.

In relation to warms ups and cool downs this is fantastic, I would ask is there warm ups and cool downs for just standing up rather than laying on floors which generally are not as lovely and clean as your floors lol ! Thanks!

[@T11ky]

Yup agreed! I noticed most of these r done laying on the floor...whereby the places Id play, their floors are definitely as clean as ur floors in this video! Would definitely want warm ups and cool downs when standing, than laying down! :)

[@CODEMENTAL]

Great video. I have started now to do stretching at the beginning and at the end and sometimes while waiting for my turn in court. Here is a tip for a video. Do you have easy tips to judge whether the shuttle is in or out.

Thank you so much! And thanks for the video suggestion :)

[@drhirenapatel]

Hello: I am playing badminton just for fun from last 4 yrs ..improving day by day...by watching yours videos ..thanks for that. I have one question. Do thickness of strings matters for smash?

Great! What do you think about the "hands touch your toes" -stretch while standing? I think it could be very useful for unloading your lower back. Also I think there were some opinions on not foam rollling your lower back. Would be interested in your opinion on that

3:09 All the online sources I've looked at for stretching the lats in the child's pose show the person moving their hands towards the side opposite of the lats being stretched. The fact that Greg doesn't here - is this a variation specific for badminton?

It was purely for not adding too many exercises! You should still lean into that side which provides a great stretch 😀
