Most pickleball injuries after 40 aren't bad luck. They're missing strength.
This is the exact 6-week program I use with my clinic players in South Carolina — built for the lateral moves, quick stops, and overhead reaches that wreck unprepared knees and shoulders.
✔ 3 workouts a week, ~30 minutes each
✔ Bands + dumbbells — garage, park, or gym
✔ 8-minute pre-match warm-up (run it before every game)
✔ 10-minute mobility protocol for hips, ankles & shoulders
✔ 3-phase progression: foundation → build → power
Play stronger. Recover faster. Stay on the court.
