In the last few years, padel has taken off in a big way. Players who are older find the racquet sport challenging enough but not as punishing as football, kickboxing, boxing or tennis. The smaller courts, with their glass walls, mean you cover less ground, lunge forward less often, serve underhand, and play at a slightly slower pace thanks to lower-pressure balls. Along with the strong sense of community that padel has fostered, there is also a growing circuit of players across age groups who are competing. This makes it necessary for those playing the sport to get fitter and better at it. So, whether you go to the gym or not, here’s a list of moves that will help ace your padel performance.
