The sunny spring weather in Los Angeles motivates everybody to get in shape, which for most people would mean to own nicely defined abdominals. Besides a tanned and lean midsection, for a tennis player being in shape should mean “a strong and functional core”. Strong legs and core, functional hips and shoulders, good flexibility and balance are very important elements for every tennis player. A strong core will decrease the risk of low back problems and improve your shot making, because the core muscles transfer the forces from the legs to the upper body through the kinetic chain.
