Weekly Coach Guidance #3

Afternoon all,

I hope you've managed to keep your exercise going, have you tried anything new & creative to help sharpen your focus following last weeks guidance? It certainly helps to keep it interesting.

Here at Hall headquarters, we're now kicking a ball around & mixing up some random Squash-related drills in addition to still enjoying the excellent Joe Wicks daily workouts plus the regular walking & cycling. I find that after sitting at a desk most the day, daily stretching and moving are vitally important to keep the blood flowing & mind alert with an increased heart rate.

Here is a summary round-up of this weeks best online Squash training guidance & content;

Last weeks note included an outdoor Squash-specific video from Jesse Engelbrecht which was produced via the super handy Squash Skills training website, which incidentally is free to sign up to for further content. Here is another from the highly regarded Coach, this time a ball skill video which can be easily completed at home;
