Many thanks for leaving a few outtakes in and also many thanks to the camerawoman - great job!

[@nyamedevries783]

This video of yours, like all others, is beautiful in its simplicity.

[@muskistutter]

Perfectly said.

[@amrkhaled6548]

True

[@gabrieldiniz1414]

Could be seen as common knowledge for those professionally involved in tennis but for me, as an amateur, those are great ideas for warming up. Also serves as a reminder to do it. Nikola, I admire what you do, man. You do make a big impact on tennis. Kids around the world learning their first strokes, adult amateurs (some eventually will parent a junior player). Cheers from Brazil.

[@andrewmoseley4029]

Video saved! Between my warmup now, my dates, and my 3rd set socks, good freaking luck to my future opponents!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

🙌🙌

[@mizninepatch]

My side always used to be sore after playing tennis. After you put out this video I added the warmup you show at 1:00 and my side hasn't hurt since! Thanks Nik!

[@bushmenaa]

Great Video! Please make video for cooling down after match. Greeting from Bulgaria.

[@knotwilg3596]

Haha inclusion of Carla's bloopers is gold. You have science on your side with the stretching: don't as a warm-up but do as a cool-down. Also, I can see your starting speed on the sprint is resembling mine, .. From a fellow 197x-er

[@IntuitiveTennis]

😂 yes I’m slow

[@xabirocks6913]

Good stuff, Nik. You're upping your game now. Last ones had extra swag, now you have bloopers like the movies. You're a star now ;) and not just in tennis. hehe. Awesome work, man.

[@DSalaverry]

You convinced me with the Sampra's sweat flick haha. Thanks for the video Nik and glad to see Karla again (even if she was on the camera/extra) awesome content!

[@Mickey_McD]

Really need to start incorporating the leg swings as part of a pre-playing routine. Thanks for these pointers Coach Nik.

[@Javi_C]

Something I need to do more often that’s for sure!

[@victorliendo2010]

Great video ... as many others you have created so far

[@tuner551]

We also warm up properly in my bjj academy. Before we start teaching technicues or sparring with each others. Also at least till sweat comes to forehead (around 15 minutes). I have trained diffrent martial arts now over 15 years and continue training. Tennis is also fun and I play it usually once a week with my friends. Thanks for video and good tips! 🙂

[@JiraiyaSama86]

If I could give this more than just 1 like, I would. Saving this as a reminder so I can quickly recall and practice this.

[@norberthuelse1800]

I am a hobby player. Every time before i start with tennis on the court i making some warm up like you showing. My partners always smiling and want to play without warm up. I think thats not good when you like to play tennis for a long time in your live. Thsnks for your "tips" and inspirations. Have a good time👍

[@IntuitiveTennis]

🙏

[@TimoTolkkipelto]

Intuitive warm up... Thank you!

[@andyfer7716]

In my experience, the warmup is the most neglected part of the game at the recreational level. I need to add some elements from this video to my warmup routine. I think the video is missing ankle and knee rotations which I find important to get my joints ready.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Yes add those as well

[@laykefindley6604]

More excellent content! Thanks for helping me take my coaching and own tennis to the next level!

[@SECHMOU]

LOVE THE BLOOPERS!!❤

[@X_D_X_D]

danke das habe ich gebraucht!!!

[@ahmedalikhan3819]

This is one of the best and simple way for warming up

[@vivy_xo]

Great video Nick! Much needed routine!

[@inoubakonjengbam530]

Love this routine! Thanks for sharing!

[@sandys4509]

Thank you! This is exactly what I have been looking for! Could you also do a video for what kind of stretch exercise one should do after tennis? I feel that my elbow and wrists are tender or tight after tennis, but don't know how I should stretch them. Thank you!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Sure

[@raphaelgarcia7219]

The best warm up video from internet! Thank you so much!

[@scubaboy8642]

Hi Nikola I love your videos man. They are very professional, great picture quality and very informative. I think tennis fans would love to see your videos on a sports channel like Eurosports before a match starting or during a weather break. Keep the videos coming please. Scuba Tom London

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Eurosport would be nice 🤩

[@Jordan-ws6jy]

I will try to implement these routines in my warm ups before practice. Thanks for the great content as always.

[@miath.9171]

Expect the ball part, I did the other things today before training. It felt good. Thank u

[@raviravi-ru6rb]

Love your energy man💪👍👏😎

[@laurastone6578]

The Sampras “sweat flick”! I remember that! 😁

[@40rods]

0:40 Me when Coach Nik posts a new vid

[@ezrajames143]

Much needed video! Thanks Nick. Idk about that Sampras sweat flick haha, but I'm definitely going to try the warm up exercises today

[@siddhantahuja5384]

Have seen Djokovic doing this. Great one! ❤️

[@liverbird66]

In my perfect warm I do a 2k run pre match in about 10mins followed by some upper body exercises for shoulders and torso… find the 2k run really puts me in the zone!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

2K is a little too long. But if it works for you 🙌🙌

[@LousTube]

Awesome video! Thank you.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Glad you liked it!

[@InefableTheo]

Tank you!

[@supermuskelmann8557]

So cool if you have time for it. Especially in the winter, we rent a court for a lot of money, we don’t want to waste time with warm up.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

You can do all of this off court

[@golllaur]

Alright! the bloopers came over :)))) thanks for the lesson tho!

[@smaili.physio]

NICE! regards from brasil as a phisical therapist!!!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

🔥🔥

[@octopath2199]

the best camcorder

[@AndreyAndreev_K8]

thanks

[@Ernesto020879]

Great video!

[@sportscastercanada]

Warming up is critical when playing in colder temperatures. 👍

[@12GaugePadawan]

I thought it was Anna filming this. 😔 She’s the only one who could dance backwards so gracefully and not suffer a major catastrophic injury. 😄 But Carla is pretty awesome too! 👍🏻😀

[@kelejitui]

This is great. Wish I saw this before I suffered my Achilles injury T_T

[@welfworld]

I got a major tournament in about 40 minutes. Thanks for this!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Good luck 💯

[@gerardovitaliani9318]

Nice video, Nik! Before my training, I take 10 'to warm up. But why do you think stretching is not good? I always learn something new with you, thank you

[@IntuitiveTennis]

You can read up on it. Some people think it’s not good for muscles.

[@LydiaBarnard-e6r]

Dynamic stretches before, static after fir recovery.

[@elenaliu3924]

perfect timing, I literally just came back from tennis practice

[@davenzo3801]

Where can I find the resistance band you used in 3:25 ?

[@geoffhess2267]

Great content Nik. Warmups are neglected (or dismissed as unnecessary) by a huge percentage of club players. What's your take on jumping rope as part of a warmup?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Sure

[@tonysempertegui5786]

How long before the tennis match should the warm-up be done?

[@Sladovsky1]

Great tips. How heavy is the med ball in this video?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

10 lbs

[@إقرأباسمربكالذيخلق-ذ5ي]

Hey coach, can you tell us about tennis players at top level please We don’t see them warm up apart from some ball exchanging between opponents!? Do they do it inside, I mean outside the court on treadmill or something?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Yes usually inside

[@Prof.Amateur]

Great content, Nick. But I am probably too tired to play tennis after this set of warm up. Ha Ha~

[@knotwilg3596]

That's a misconception. Most recreational sports players think that way - I used to too. But you do find your "second breath" and it's a rather mesmerizing experience.

[@Prof.Amateur]

@@knotwilg3596 Hope so~ My physical fitness is quite poor. I really need that "second breath!"

[@niceguy5430]

How much time should be spared for warm up...15 min?

[@menial_scientist]

its looks funny.... but its for reals ..... awesome my friend .

[@holamissmusica]

The way the audio disappears is disarming 😂

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Copy right issues

[@cesarfernandezlopez5063]

Tennis is not for lazy People , correct 😂😉❤️🎾 oh I see you have your camera🎥 rolling 🛼😂 very nice 👍🏻

[@mdhorsemenwiffs]

Hey Nick, I have been having some shoulder issues, specifically near my rotator cuff (severe pain, I have iced it and used bands lightly.) I need a stretch recommendation to aid that area. Thanks!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Got a stretch vid coming soon, but best to see dr

[@danstepanov8700]

How much tension do you recommend on the resistance bands?

[@24tomorrow]

Hey Nick, random qs - which camera do you use to shoot all your videos?

[@IntuitiveTennis]

A mix

[@tinycuisine6544]

I’ll try to do this tomorrow before my match, but I'll afraid I'll lose due to exhaustion!

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Do a segment you’ll be fine 😂

[@YehShano]

Can you clarify your comment on ‘the serve is not a throwing motion’…I’ve never heard anyone say this before is all

[@ampecsu]

2:00 i tried those years ago and am still suffering from the strains i got...never again

[@black13078]

Hi Nick. How did you solve the groin injury? I am going through it right now.

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Mine was chronic bc I didn’t rest long enough and played on it 😩

[@PraveenJames3]

Is there a warm up for this warm up?

[@djemael1015]

🤣🤣

[@gerardovitaliani9318]

😂😂😂

[@Iamwrathster]

Why do you think stretching is not a good warm-up? I'm a recreational player competing in team league tournaments in Austria (~4.0 ITN, which according to tennisPAL is between a 4.5 & 5.0 NTRP, or 6.0 & 8.5 UTR level). I warm up with stretches for every practice and match, for which I earn skeptical if not confused looks almost every time because most other players don't warm up at all. If I did any of your suggested exercises (except maybe the ones with the stretch-band), people would laugh at how serious I take myself.

[@TheSebmab]

How many warm-ups did you have to do, to turn this video ? No wonder you were sweating ! :-D

[@ozanmuyes]

Well that's unfortunate that there is no any sound after a certain point, due to copyright I reckon

[@IntuitiveTennis]

Yes copyright issues on this one

[@cyberjonesy]

No camerawomen was hurt in the making of this video !

[@laythyounus2515]

It’s good but with this type of warm up, will have no energy to complete the game 😄

[@smashthestateX]

u gotta use ur thumb for the nasty sweat flick. cmon man.

[@TW-uh1ny]

U are not that fit ;-)

[@IntuitiveTennis]

I’m getting back (back) in shape. It’s been a tough year

[@TW-uh1ny]

@@IntuitiveTennis yes,I know ;-) - but u r still a great Coach. Wenn ich bald in die USA reise, dann komme ich auf ein Match vorbei. Viele Grüße aus Offenbach. Tobias.
