Tennis is the ideal sport for any age and fitness level as the game can be picked up at any time because it is low impact and doesn’t depend on the player’s strength.
Playing tennis gets your mind and body moving. It requires the cooperation of the whole body – feet get you into the right position, arms and hands position the racquet to make contact with the ball and the torso and legs provide the power to send the ball flying over the net. All these factors come together every time you hit the tennis ball making tennis a real workout – running, swinging, reaching and pivoting. Tennis also requires your brain to be creative and involves planning, tactical thinking, agility and the coordination of many different parts of the body. Tennis is truly a whole body sport.
