This routine is for athletes who are ready to start a regular tennis fitness routine and they either have not previously had a regular routine or have taken an extended break.
Going out and punishing your body from the get-go is not a sound long-term strategy! The purpose of the 3-week early season is to introduce your body to the demands of strength, agility, and speed training so you will be ready to take the next step of doing more focused, extended workouts.
Requirements: Set aside 3 blocks of 30 minutes each week for 3 weeks. Ideally you will block out the same times each week, but if you have a busy life and need to fit in your workouts more spontaneously, that is ok, too. Commit to doing the workouts and do your best not to overdo your efforts. If you get through Week 1 and experience no muscle soreness, unusual aches or pains, or injuries, you can certainly push a little harder in the weeks ahead.
