What is Cardio Tennis?
High Energy
Cardio tennis is a high energy, tennis based fitness activity, that combines cardiovascular exercise for a full body, calorie burning workout with the sport of tennis.
Social
Not only great for your fitness, Cardio tennis is a very social and fun activity for all ability levels. Whether you are a tennis beginner, or a highly experience player, cardio tennis is a superb way to improve your fitness while having a fun social time.
What Can You Expect?
- Raise your heart rate while enjoying yourself
- Burn more calories than singles or doubles and other fitness options
- Fun group activity where players of all levels can enjoy tennis together
- Even though you are “playing” tennis, the main focus is on a great workout
CARDIO TENNIS IS FOR EVERYONE
New Players If you’re a new player and you have some hand/eye coordination, Cardio Tennis is perfect for you because it is not about where you hit or place the ball. The ball moves much slower in Cardio Tennis, which makes it a lot easier
Advanced Players All professional tennis players use a form of Cardio Tennis to train. Cardio Tennis uses balls that are hard to hit winners with, meaning the ball stays in player longer which gives you more “cardio”. In addition to increasing your fitness, Cardio Tennis will help improve your speed, agility and make you a faster player around the court. A solid Cardio Tennis session for Advanced Players will largely simulate the effort put into a proper tennis match.
Seniors A great class for boosting your fitness and improving your footwork, but at a lower and slower intensity. A good workout but done in a safe and healthy format.
