Hi Raaquib,

The main thing is to get your heart rate up.  You can do this with some jogging and side stepping.  Then you need to warm up the specific muscles that you use to play Table Tennis.  Think about the arm and waist and legs.

If you gain access to our Premium membership you can take a look at the lesson we have in our Training Secrets Lessons.  Take a look specifically at the Physical Warm Up lesson.
