#6 Two PTs Walk into a Garage
Week 6 was designed to focus on the rotation of the trunk and the pivoting required for tennis. These moves can easily be applied to other rotation sports like golf, and throwing. Muscles used in this workout will creep up on you and can fatigue quickly.
The workout was surprisingly exhausting in the best way. I had to take a break between each set and each round to prepare for the next one. Afterwards, my entire body felt warmed up and ready to tackle the day.
Reminder – the fancy equipment isn’t needed and can be replaced by anything you have around the house.
