30 Minute Workout Routine

By Samson Dubina

There might be days that you can practice really well.  There might be other days that you are working late or swamped with homework.  Regardless of your schedule, you should be able to fit in a 30 min home workout on a daily basis (5 days/week).  The things that you are learning in table tennis are going to be much easier to implement in your game if you are strong, fit, and flexible.  These home workouts seen below can be done at the Samson Dubina Table Tennis Academy or at home!  I strongly recommend doing them in the morning before work/school.  Your productivity and concentration and manageable stress level will be much better after working out!

See the following 6 workouts that I personally do. As always, please consult your physician before beginning any exercise program!
