Does anyone have a list of badminton-specific exercises that could be done in a regular gym with machines? Also, is it recommended to weight train in high school? Thanks!
Your best best is to do push ups, pull ups, chin ups, and hand grips and a power ball thing. These will be just as good as goin to the gym! These will help strengthen you up good bit. Jus remember to work on say upp body 1 day, lower body next. Always give your muscles a days rest to recover Hope this helps
So many factors to take into consideration, I'd say your best bet is to go and get an initial assessment at a gymn. They will take into account your current fitness, weight, build, BMI, medical history, age, height to weight ratio, agility, suppleness and such like.
bascially, every muscle in the body is used, so you need to workout every part of the body. you shudn't just workout some parts of the body and not others cause you wouldn't b balanced. like gingerphil says, you don't need to go to the gym. they could b done at home if u put ur mind into it, presevere and not procrastinate
Well dont know if this helps but I saw an interview of LCW on youtube, and he does stuff like squats, benches, power cleans, as well as basic cardio and situps, so Im guessing more for core strength, as well as thighs... you might wanna check that out.
Here is what I do: Running (3-5km/day) - Stamina Build-Up Push-up (40-50/day) - Tricep Build-Up Weight Training (20-30/day on each arm for not having imbalanced muscle development) - Bicep Build-Up Jumping Ropes or Knee-to-Chest Jumps (30-35/day) - Building up your leg muscles in general Other types of training for wrist and grip is already mentioned by other members. But what I do is for oversized "Men". Ask a training specialist for the type of training that suits you.
