Some of you requested a listing of the fitness exercises that we did throughout the Super Camp. Nearly all of the fitness stations and the warm-up routines are shown in the videos below.
As we begin a new season of training in preparation for the US Nationals. I would encourage each of you to re-watch some of these fitness videos and choose several exercises to do on a regular basis to improve your strength and speed. Write down which exercises that you feel will help you the most and we will go over them together in our next lesson.
See you soon!

Learn new table tennis exercises by watching these 2 short videos
Dear Table Tennis Students,
This year, I'll be assigning each of you a daily training routine that focuses on leg and core fitness specifically designed to improve your table tennis game. I will be e-mailing each of you individually for your daily assigment. To make it easier for you, I have created these 2 videos so that you can copy how I do these exercises.

Wake up at 6am
Light walk, breakfast, stretching, light jog 6am-8am
Start practice on the table 8am
First tournament match 9am
