Every day, we are bombarded with messages about taking charge of our health, fitness, and lifestyle. It's difficult to argue, but even more difficult to obey in a world rife with claims of shortcuts to an incredible figure and muscles in minutes, until now. This process is not intended to be a quick fix with short-term results, but rather to achieve long-term results through lifestyle changes.
Tennis Fitness distills Ranil Harshana's twenty-three plus years of education and experience in tennis, fitness, sports performance, and nutrition into an easy-to-use yet comprehensive strength and conditioning program that not only gets you fit, but also helps you lose fat, improve mobility, and maintain a healthy diet, all without the burden of a costly gym membership or investment in expensive home equipment. This Tennis Fitness guide introduces the Tennis BPM (Body Performance Matrix) program, which emphasizes starting at an appropriate level and allowing oneself to progress naturally. Harshana is your personal trainer/ strength and conditioning coach every step of the way, guiding you through this program with detailed instructions and illustrative photos covering all the fundamentals of getting fit: endurance, speed, agility, quickness, strength, power, flexibility, nutrition, and recovery. Tennis Fitness is a valuable resource for kids, teens, adults, parents, families, fitness trainers, tennis coaches, and anyone else who wants to take charge of their health and fitness in a fun, affordable, and effective way while also improving their favorite sport of tennis. Note: This book is the foundation for tennis fitness and is not intended for advanced tennis coaches/S&C or competitive players on tour; the sequel to this book will focus on competitive players.
