Cardio Tennis launched at Cox Green Leisure Centre
Cardio Tennis is a series of tennis-based drills and activities (using low compression balls) played to up-tempo music on a tennis court. It does not require tennis skills, but is all about keeping your heart rate up, burning calories and having fun. In the Cardio session, whether the ball goes in or out is irrelevant as the main purpose is to get fit, it’s about getting into your appropriate cardio zone and having a great workout.
Participants are advised to wear heart rate monitors so they can see if they are working hard enough (or too hard) whilst also providing an accurate summary of the session including how many calories have been burned.
If you are looking for a great new way to get in shape and to burn calories, why not try Cardio Tennis?
The benefits of Cardio Tennis are:-
1. You consistently elevate your heart rate into your aerobic training zone
2. It is much more fun than working out on a machine
3. You get short cycles of high intensity workouts and periods of rest, almost like interval training, which burns more calories
4. It is a fun group activity where players of all abilities enjoy tennis together
5. Even though you are playing tennis, the focus is primarily on getting a great workout
6. You naturally improve your game because you hit so many balls and repeat various shots
