TennisFit: Tennis Fitness

The burst that gets you to the ball first is built at home. TennisFit is an interval training app that builds the power, agility and leg endurance tennis demands, no racket required. A voice-coached timer guides you through 15 exercises taken straight from court movement: split steps, side steps, changes of direction. All you need is your phone and room to move. ■ 15 exercises, 3 categories • Power Split Step Jump, Start Dash, Change-of-Direction Sprint, Side Jump, Reaction Step. Builds the explosive first step that gets you to the ball. • Agility Side Step, Crossover Step, Line Touch Drill, Shuffle, Square Step. Makes your footwork across the court quick and light. • Leg Endurance Squat Hold, Lunge Walk, Step-Up, Plank Side Kick, Wall Sit. Builds legs that stay low through long rallies and the final game. Every exercise comes with a description and form cue, so you can follow along even the first time. ■ Voice-coached timer • Session start and finish, the next exercise, a 3-second countdown and a form cue for each exercise are read aloud. Keep your eyes on your feet, not the screen. • The screen changes color for work, rest and get-ready phases, and the time left is shown as a big number with a ring. • Beeps and vibration mark phase changes and the countdown. • The timer and voice coaching keep going when the screen turns off or you switch apps, and you can pause or stop right from the notification. • Choose a slow, normal or fast speech rate. ■ Presets, ready to go • Quick Court Prep (about 10 minutes) A short circuit to wake up your footwork before a match. • Fitness Circuit (about 20 minutes) 10 power and agility exercises, 2 rounds. • Full Home Workout (about 35 minutes) All 15 exercises, 2 rounds, the full course.
