Top 10 reasons to get in the swing
of things
- Tennis is f-u-n. It's fun to get outside and run,
swing and interact with other people, especially compared to
sitting on a stationary cycle or climbing on a stair machine.
- Tennis is social. You can catch up with old friends and make new ones.
- Tennis burns calories. A 150-pound person can burn up to 420 calories for each hour of tennis played at moderate intensity.
- Tennis is for a lifetime. You can play tennis when
you're in grade school, middle school, high school and college.
Then continue playing as an adult, "middle ager," senior
and super senior. It's one of the few true sports for a lifetime.
- Tennis helps you manage stress. Having fun with tennis soothes mental, emotional and physical stress.
- Tennis teaches players to compete individually,
as well as with a player. Singles lets people compete one-on-one,
while doubles builds team skills and communication.
- Tennis fits into your schedule. It only takes an
hour to get in a great interval, aerobic workout.
- Tennis is inexpensive. It's cheaper than gold, skiing and other sports, and the only equipment you need is a racquet, shoes and tennis balls!
- Tennis lessons are readily available. It's easy to improve your game with the help of nearly 12,000 teaching professionals certified by the United States Professional Tennis Association.
- Tennis is healthy for body and mind. Tennis allows you to exercise muscles, develop flexibility, keep your mind sharp from tactical thinking and develop confidence in yourself.
