Before the first serve is even struck, Premier Padel stars such as Alejandro Galán and Arturo Coello are already in full motion—gearing up with electrifying warm-up routines that are anything but casual. These aren’t just stretches and light jogs; we’re talking about high-intensity drills designed to ignite power, sharpen reflexes, and awaken every muscle needed for peak performance.
Galán focuses heavily on explosive footwork, combining lateral shuffles with quick pivoting to mimic the rapid changes of direction he’ll face during a match. Coello, known for his commanding presence at the net, incorporates resistance band work to engage his core and shoulders, ensuring that his smashes come down like thunderbolts.
Dynamic stretching, plyometric jumps, and reaction drills are all part of the equation. Speed ladders, medicine balls, and short sprints help build up the rhythm that eventually translates into their razor-sharp in-game instincts.
