Warm-up before pickleball and tennis

A simple warm-up before pickleball or tennis to lower your chance of getting hurt.

Warm up first

• Shake out your wrists, circle your wrists and roll your shoulders, 10 times each

Then stretch

1. Hold your arm out straight with the elbow locked and gently press your fingers down. Hold for a count of 10, at least 5 times
2. Stretch the back of your upper arm and hold for a count of 10
3. Stretch around your shoulder blade and hold for a count of 10

Finish one side first, then do the same on the other side.

Move slowly and stay within a pain-free range. Stop and see a doctor if pain gets worse or you feel numbness or pain that spreads.
