Tennis—the Sport for a Fit and Healthy Lifetime
Playing tennis will make you more fit—and bring you more fun.
Americans are obsessed with fitness. So we count carbs and try fad diets that
are named after places we’ll probably never see and people we’ll obviously
never know. We take vitamin supplements, even though we’re never exactly
sure what they’re supplementing. We buy treadmills and inevitably turn them
into coat racks. We eventually lose interest in the whole thing.
The irony in all this, of course, is that we’re trying to get fit in order
to enjoy our lives more, but the process of getting fit is too often anything
but enjoyable. That doesn’t have to be the case. If you’re looking for
something that combines fun with fitness, you need not look any farther than
your local tennis court. Playing tennis will make you more fit—and bring you
more fun. You hardly ever hear anyone say that about abdominal crunches.
May is Tennis Month, and the U.S. Tennis Association wants you to seize these
31 days as an opportunity to discover—or rediscover —all the wonders of
this truly wonderful sport. Grab a friend and your racquet, and get to the
courts. You’ll see that tennis can be just the fitness vehicle you’ve been
looking for. Consider this month as your opportunity for a test drive.
According to Consumer Reports (January 2005), tennis ranks among the top five
activities for most calories burned per workout. In a mere half hour of
singles tennis, you’ll burn more calories than someone who uses a rowing
machine, or rides a stationary bike, or does yoga or plays golf. Tennis can
help you get fitter—and have fun doing it. Covering the baseline means you
won’t have to cover your waistline.
What’s more, tennis is a heart-healthy sport, as documented by a recent
study at Johns Hopkins University that showed that middleaged men who stayed
active in tennis—more than any other activity—had a significantly lower
incidence of cardiovascular disease as they aged. Further, The Cleveland
Clinic, the nation’s top-ranked heart care facility, has called tennis “an
ideal sport for a healthy heart.”
Indeed, the many benefits of playing tennis are well documented, but the
sheer fun of playing tennis is something you have to experience for yourself
to truly appreciate. More than just being good for your heart, tennis is a
sport you can put your heart into. It is a sport in which you can meet
people, make new friends, involve your family and connect with them for life.
It is, after all, a sport that can be enjoyed by every age and every ability
level. You’re never too old, never too young.
As the warm weather begins to creep into all corners of the country, tennis
courts everywhere begin to bustle with activity. Old friends and new partners
come together, eager to revel in the unparalleled enjoyment unleashed by the
simple act of popping the top off a new can of balls. This is the essence of
Tennis Month. Be part of it. Pick a day, grab a friend and get connected with
the sport for a lifetime—a fit and healthy lifetime.
