7 Exercises for Tennis Players to Strengthen Hips

The hips and gluteus muscles are extremely important for all athletes, especially tennis players. Every step you take originates in the hips, as they connect the lower and upper body. The lower and upper body work together in harmony when transmitting the forces from the ground up to your arm and into your tennis racket.

For tennis players, the dominant side is often strong and too tight, and the non-dominant side is weak or non-functional. These imbalances can create many possible future problems.?

If you are getting small aches and injuries in your knees, ankles, shoulders, lower back and other places, the chance is that your glutes and hips are not functioning properly, and you need to get them back in shape. Try these great glute exercises to strengthen your hips. They'll have you playing better tennis, injury-free.
