Burn calories playing tennis

We all know that it takes engaging in some form of physical activity to get the calories burning. Participating in a sporting activity can be a great way to achieve this! Consider giving tennis a try!

What you will need to play tennis

All you need is suitable shoes and clothes (this helps to prevent injury), a tennis raquet and ball and of course someone to play with.

Tennis is an active sport!

Tennis is a very active sport – it keeps you running around in different directions, makes you stretch your arms and sometimes even jump when aiming to hit the ball back to the other person. It is a wonderful sport that gets your heart rate up and allows fresh air to be breathed in. Furthermore, you will be toning your arms and legs whilst burning calories.

If you find that you are a competitive person and have developed a significant number of tennis skills, invite a friend or two to play a friendly match with you. You may find that the pace of other players is completely different, thus they may offer you a greater challenge at times as opposed to playing with the same partner all the time.

Increase your calorie burnout

Increase your calorie burnout by taking a walk or jog to the tennis courts if it is located in your residential vicinity, and then again when returning home. Remember it takes many simple movements to burn more calories so try to maximise it whenever you can.
