Alternative training techniques.

Stuff like this is really good training for table tennis so serves a double purpose.
I ride MTB which is great for strengthening the legs and gluts and back. Often I stop and throw large rocks that have fallen on to the trails off the cliff or into a ditch using a twisting motion. It is also superb TT training.
Anyone into other sports and training?

Work as a physiotherapist. Would say today it is really beneficial for youths to do more sports. Have also coached part time for 15 years. Feel like kids today generally do not know there body so really hard to learn technique. Older kids that have started several sports often catch up.
For adults i also think it is important. Tabletennis is so much movements one way and only one side. Would also say that the majority of hobby tabletennis players are to unfit.
I try to do yoga, jogging, gym and swimming aswell.
I think chess, golf, martial arts and sailing would be cool to try but hard with the time. Maybe chess easiest to try.
Also think metaphoes can be a good way of learning tabletennis.
