Before doing any low or high-impact physical activity, it’s vital to do an initial warm-up first. This helps prepare your body, improve blood flow, elevate temperature, and lessen physical risks of injury.
This applies to all physical activities, including padel.
It doesn’t have to be a 30-minute padel-specific warm-up either; a good five minutes will do if you’re doing it correctly, with the proper exercises, technique, time length, and muscle focus.
This is probably the largest hurdle getting over when it comes to a warm up. Try to make it count rather than counting the minutes.
In this article we’ll show you how to warm up “padel-style”, including the why, length, focus, as well as give you the actual exercises you should be doing before your padel game.
Good luck, and let us know how you feel about our suggestions in the comment section!
