Refreshing Insight Into Tennis Fitness and Beyond! 16 Dec 2010
By Wesley - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As an athlete and parent of an athlete, Suzanna's book gives practical advice on exercises to help maintain balance in your fitness routine. Many injuries I have observed over the years in adult tennis are result of natural imbalances in tennis motions which tends to favor one side of the body. Suzanna drives home the point that it is important to maintain your core performance through exercises that balance the muscles and joints throughout the body. As a multiple sport athlete, the exercises and stretches work for many sports and she has gotten me to rethink my training routine. This is a great book for teaching tennis pros as well!

A way to understand why I get injured and what to do about it 12 Oct 2010
By Ari E Miller - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I've been playing tennis for 25 years, and the first 20 went by without a serious injury. But once I got hurt, I couldn't figure out how to recover. I had a job that had me sitting down for 10+ hours a day, and I just started getting less and less able to play tennis without pain. The exercises Suzanna describes in this book helped me to recover from those injuries, and to condition my body to avoid injury from the stresses of playing tennis. They also showed me how to compensate for a variety of the stresses I was inflicting on my body as part of my desk job. I highly recommend the book both for the explanations it gives of the types of stresses that lead to injury, and the excellent photos and descriptions that make it possible to understand how to do each exercise and what to focus on.

Excellent stretching guide 22 Mar 2011
By Skip M - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book provides an extensive list of stretches for those of us who choose to get our bodies out of alignment playing tennis. Many of the exercises are similar to the Egoscue method, which is another excellent reference for how to keep your posture/body in alignment.
