Train endurance using medicine ball and BOSU Ball

Hi there! This is Gaby from fitintennis.com. I’m a tennis coach and a fitness instructor for tennis players here in Barcelona.

This video is part of a series of videos where I show you some exercises on Bosu Ball.

As a tennis player you always need a good stability and balance on your feet whenever you change direction and move on court. So today we are going to do exercises on Bosu using the medicine balls.

Apart from Bosu ball, I'm going to use medicine balls as well, and they will be useful to increase your muscle strength, power and endurance for overall tennis performance.

Let’s look at the equipment we have today. First of all, the Bosu Ball. As you know, it’s an inflated rubber dome on a rigid platform and we use it to work on our balance and stability and it makes all the exercises, that we will do, more challenging.

The other equipment that we are going to use are medicine balls. You can see, they come in different sizes and weights. When you choose a medicine ball that you will work with make sure that you pick up the ball that is heavy enough to slow your motion but light enough to allow the same accuracy and fluidity of your movement. For example, this one, the small one is 1 kilogram heavy, and this big one is 3 kilograms heavy.

All right, so let’s get started.

All right guys so that’s it. That’s a good workout. We’ve improved our muscle strength, our power and endurance for your tennis shots. This is another video using Bosu ball. Make sure that you check out the other videos where I use elastic bands and different equipment, always working on Bosu ball, to work on your stability and balance. If you’re looking at improving your fitness for tennis, then go out try those exercises and if you take a picture then tag us on Instagram so we can have a look.
