Hey everyone, Simon here with Top Tennis Training, and in this video I want to
show you five different drills that will help you improve your footwork at home.
Now over 30% of the world's population are currently in lockdown
this goes for America, most of Europe and now India we don't have access to gyms
we don't have access to the tennis courts and staying in shape is becoming
a daily challenge hopefully these five will help you to have a better home
workout and keep you light on your feet and actually improve your footwork so we
do get back out on the court we reap the benefit now the first rule is very
simple all you're doing is you're spotting with your feet together
and you're jumping into a split step position now why diplomatic stance
instead of just doing one split step you're going to work on that double
split step and this is very common for players like Federer Djokovic and even
the doubt sometimes we'll use that double split step when they want to be a
little bit more alert and ready to move to the ball so to begin we're going to
go for 30 seconds of high-intensity with this drill so 30 seconds as fast as you
can that double split step and coming back into that feet together position
now after those first seconds are up you can have a 30-second rest before we do
the next row you could have a 15 or 20 second break or you could have no break
at all it's up to you
you
well number two is now a hop and a split step so you're hopping onto one leg so
let's say you start on your right leg you're going into that split step
position and you're coming back onto your left leg so you're alternating
between hopping on the right and the left leg once again were there for 30
seconds of high-intensity with this drill so this is great for that split
step when you're off balance you're on one leg and you're going into that split
step position this is also great for your coordination and this can be done
with juniors this could be done with kids and it can be done with adults as
well
you
next show is now having the white athletics
so that ready position or that splits that position and you're doing fast feet
on the spot as quick as you can alternating between tapping with your
right leg and your left leg so you're having those fast foot taps with that
wide athletic stance once again we're going for 30 seconds of this drill
you
the next rule is now the side shuffle step but on the spot so you're only
going to do one side shuffle to your right and one side shuffle to your left
once again we're going for 30 seconds of high-intensity followed by either the
rest period or no rest period if you want to carry on straight into the next
row
you
and the last rule is now that white stands and you're doing runners on the
spot but instead of having your feet close together you're having them in
that almost ready position or split step so you're having that wide stance
running as fast as you can small steps on the spot
you
once again we'll go for 30 seconds of high-intensity followed by either that
break or if you want to reset the whole series again you can go straight into
set number two so once you've done all five drills that will be one set and
you're going to go for at least two sets but if you go for three four or five
it's up to you it's up to how much time you have how much time you want to spend
doing these footwork drills and how fit you are currently so there you have it
guys five ways you can improve your footwork at home with very little space
