1. Resistance Bands
Resistance bands have become all the rage and for good reasons. You can strengthen not only your forehand and backhand, and every shot in between. And Patty Soud, an ACE- and ACSM-certified trainer and owner of Fitness by Patty, loves thisΒ Bodylastics Resistance Band Set ($50), because the bands are lightweight, portable, easy to store, and can be used for every muscle group. According to Soud: “Resistance bands offer significant resistance to the muscles without the wear and tear on joints that heavy weights can often leave.” What tennis player needs more wear and tear on our joints?
