warm-up stuff I've actually stuck to

Right so I've gone through phases with this. For ages I thought warming up just meant a few arm circles and maybe jogging on the spot for 30 seconds before heading onto court. And honestly for a while nothing bad happened so I kept doing it. Then I started actually doing it properly — like hip circles, lateral shuffles, a bit of shadow footwork — and the first 10 minutes of a match felt completely different. I'm not saying I'm suddenly playing better padel overall but I'm in it from the first point instead of feeling like I'm wading through treacle for the first game. The thing I've kept is doing it even when I don't feel like it, which sounds obvious but when you're rushing to court at 7am it's easy to cut it. I basically do the same sequence every time now so it's just automatic. Takes maybe 8-10 minutes. That's it.
