How to plan a weekly training routine if you are starting to play padel

How to plan your first week of padel training

Starting to play padel is a great way to improve your fitness, have fun, and meet new people. However, a well-structured weekly training routine can make all the difference in your progress and help you avoid injuries. At TiendaPadelPoint, we offer you a detailed guide to structure your week, adapt training sessions to your level, and choose the most suitable equipment for each session.

Why is a weekly structure important?

Padel, like any racquet sport, requires gradual progression. A well-designed routine for beginners should combine court sessions, physical work, and rest. This way, you'll encourage technical learning, build endurance, and reduce the risk of injury.

How many days a week should a beginner train padel?

Ideally, start with 2 to 3 training days per week. This frequency allows you to assimilate concepts, adapt to physical demands, and stay motivated. Alternate court days with light physical training at home or in the gym.

Tips to distribute training days

• Monday or Tuesday: Technical introduction (basic strokes, positioning, rules).
• Wednesday: Mobility, strength, and endurance exercises (complementary physical work).
• Friday or weekend: Friendly match or group class to put your learning into practice and socialize.

If you want to progress faster, you can add a fourth session dedicated exclusively to technique or tactics.

What physical exercises are most recommended for padel beginners?

Physical preparation is key for performance and injury prevention. Exercises should focus on joint mobility, agility, leg and core strength, and cardiovascular endurance.

Basic exercises to complete your weekly routine

• Lateral jumps and short sprints.
• Squats and lunges.
• Plank and core work.
• Dynamic and static stretching after training.

Remember to adapt the intensity to your level and progressively increase difficulty.

How to choose the right equipment for your training?

What mistakes should you avoid when organizing your weekly padel routine?

When starting any sport, it's common to make mistakes that can hinder your progress or cause discomfort. Avoid them with these tips:

Keys to safe and steady progress

• Don't overload the week with too many intense sessions.
• Respect rest and recovery days.
• Warm up and stretch before and after every session.
• Update your equipment if you experience discomfort or lack of comfort.

A balanced and well-planned routine will keep you motivated and help you enjoy every training session, which is essential in the beginner stage.

When and how to increase the intensity and frequency of your training?

As you feel more comfortable on the court and notice improvements in technique and endurance, you can increase weekly sessions. It's advisable to consult a qualified coach to adapt exercises and avoid stagnation.

Signs you can advance your routine

• You recover quickly after training.
• Current exercises seem easy.
