The Health Benefits of Playing Tennis



Americans are obsessed with fitness. So, we count carbs and try fad diets, which are named after places we probably never see people obviously never know. We take vitamin supplements, although we are never sure exactly what they are completed. We buy treadmills and inevitably turn them into a coat rack. We eventually lose interest in all things.

irony in all this, of course, that we are trying to get fit in order to enjoy our lives more, but the process of getting fit is often anything but pleasant. It may not be the case. If you are looking for something that combines fun with fitness, you need not look any further than your local tennis court. Play tennis, will make you more comfortable - and make it more fun. You rarely hear anyone say that about abdominal crunches.

According to Consumer Reports (January 2005), tennis ranks among the top five activities for most calories per workout. In just half an hour of singles tennis, you'll burn more calories than someone who uses a rowing machine or riding a stationary bike, or take yoga or playing golf. Tennis can help you get fitter - and have fun doing it. Covering the bases means that you will not have to cover your waist.

Indeed, many of the benefits of playing tennis are well documented, but the sheer fun playing tennis is something you must experience for yourself truly appreciate. More than just be good for your heart, tennis is a sport you can put your heart in. This is a sport where you can meet people, make new friends, your family involved and interact with them for life. It is, after all, a sport that can be enjoyed by all ages and ability levels. You are never too old, never too young.
