Televised tennis tournaments give tennis players around the county the incentive to improve their game -- especially in the summer season. And, with the US Open around the corner, players inspired by professional play will now have access to a key training tool leveraged by professionals such as the Bryan Brothers and Melanie Oudin. Half Hour Power, a resistance training program normally provided in private training sessions, is now available on DVD allowing all tennis players to train like a professional.
Developed by trainer and fitness expert Howard Waldstreicher, Half Hour Power is designed to give professional and recreational tennis players a competitive fitness edge. Half Hour Power was previously available only through one-on-one training with Waldstreicher, taking him around the country to work with professional tennis players. The increased travel and training schedule led Waldstreicher to launch Half Hour Power on a DVD featuring dedicated program followers including Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) number-one doubles team Mike and Bob Bryan and Women's Tennis Association (WTA) American teen sensation Melanie Oudin.
The Program
Half Hour Power on DVD is designed for recreational players, coaches and anyone who wants to get in shape to play a better tennis game. The 30-minute workout is a convenient and powerful fitness program aimed at developing a more explosive first step, quicker recovery and increased endurance. The DVD combines uniquely designed industrial rubber "Power Bands" with customized exercise routines to deliver multi-directional total body movements, high-intensity resistance training intervals, isometric core stabilization and core reactive training.
Professionally Adopted
Improved footwork, core strengthening and endurance are among the many benefits professional tennis players have seen with consistent application of the Half Hour Power program. Participation and referrals among professional tennis players recently led to Half Hour Power's official licensing by the United States Tennis Association (USTA).
"We have been on the tour for a while now, and have done every type of workout that there is. But nothing compares to Half Hour Power. It is the truest workout for tennis we have found," agreed Mike and Bob Bryan.
