I had no idea how much fun it was going to be when I came across some second hand tennis rackets at a thrift store many months ago. And the exercise that we get just "batting" the ball back and forth... not to mention the amount of stooping and bending.. My husband and I go to the courts as often as we can. The fresh air and beautiful outdoor scenery that we enjoy makes this such a fun activity for us, it hardly seems like we are exercising. We both plug ourselves into our iPods and an hour goes by so quickly. Not much is needed beyond rackets and tennis balls.. and a court to play on. Fortunately in Palm Springs there are an abundance of courts. You might want to check your local parks for availability.
Do you know that for recreational tennis you will earn 3 activity points for every 60 minutes of play? Playing singles tennis for 60 minutes will help you to burn approximately 469 calories.
Did you know that to lose 1 US pound (.454 kg) you must burn 3,500 more calories than you took in as food?
