Pickleball is quickly exploding in popularity all over the country, but maybe too fast for its own good. Why? Because not everyone is in the proper condition to begin playing, and many enthusiasts are quickly getting hurt as a result. In this first of a short workshop series, Q4 Active’s Patricia Soley provides an overview of the very popular sport, breaks it down into its most common movements performed, and suggests a bundle of great exercises to improve your pickleball conditioning level, while at the same time helping you to reduce your risk of injury. If you play Pickleball, or are interested in beginning to play, you don't want to whiff on this terrific workshop.
