Last week at the DTB performance center in Stuttgart-Stammheim, I had the opportunity to not only record two Tabata workouts with our coach Mike Diehl for your preseason training, but also to ask Mike about the importance of strength training in tennis. So, let's get started!
Small but mighty – that's how you could describe working with resistance bands. Our coach, Mike Diehl, is a huge fan of these bands, as they're portable and offer maximum effectiveness in your workouts. That's why we've integrated two additional exercises with the Deuser band into this second tennis Tabata session. A challenging workout that will give you the strength and stability you need for the clay court season.
Together with ROBINSON, we will make your 1001 Nights tennis dream come true and send 2 people to the ROBINSON Club Djerba Bahiya for a whole week as hotel or club testers.
Turquoise shimmering sea, fine sandy beach, a magnificent pool area, beautiful rooms, and exquisite cuisine. All this awaits you, TennisTraveller at the ROBINSON Club Djerby Bahiya on the Tunisian island of Djerba. On top of that, there are 7 clay courts where you can play to your heart's content – even under floodlights. We're looking for two stars for this fairytale tennis holiday straight out of 1001 Nights, who want to put this TennisTravellerhotel through its paces and experience a fantastic and relaxing vacation.
A tennis holiday fairytale can come true for you!
