This Week's Tip: Core Exercises for Pickleball Players
A strong core can enhance your stability on the court. Here are two simple exercises:
Plank: Start in a push-up position, with your forearms on the ground and your body in a straight line from head to heels. Hold this position for 20-30 seconds, keeping your core engaged. Rest and repeat 3 times.
Bridge: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Lift your hips towards the ceiling, squeezing your glutes, and hold for 10 seconds. Lower back down. Do 15 repetitions.
Strengthen your core and improve your game by joining Heather MacAulay at Spring Physiotherapy every Wednesday morning from 9:15 am to 9:45 am for a complimentary Pickleball Fitness Class. Secure your spot by emailing admin@springphysio.ca or calling 902-453-1525 extension 2.
Thank you for your continued support and participation at CrossCourt. Together, we create a vibrant and inclusive pickleball community.
Yours in Pickleball,
Steve and Deanna
