Cardio Tennis is Heart Pumping Fitness
The major benefits of Cardio Tennis include:

1. Participants consistently elevate their heart rates into their aerobic training zone.
2. You can burn more calories than singles or doubles tennis.
3. You get short cycles of high intensity workout and periods of rest, almost like interval training.
4. It is a fun, group activity where players of all abilities enjoy tennis together.
5. While you are playing tennis, the focus is primarily on getting a great workout.

Taught by a Certified Tennis Professional, a typical Cardio Tennis program includes a short dynamic warm-up, a drill-based workout, and a cool down phase. Each one has drills specifically designed to be fun, challenging and to get you moving. You will hit forehands, backhands, volleys, etc. But remember, Cardio Tennis is not about making you a great player. First and foremost, Cardio Tennis is a great workout. You run, you hit balls, you jump, you recover, and you have fun. Cardio Tennis is a full body workout. And, in some programs they even have music. The majority of the Cardio Tennis program is the “workout” phase, which should last as least 30-50 minutes and contain drills that will keep players moving and challenge their ability and fitness level. Pros will find ways to keep players of all levels moving and challenged… all while having fun!
