Tennis is a sport usually played between two players (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Although you need at least two people to play, many aspects of tennis can be practiced alone by playing against a wall.
Depending on your skill level and the intensity of your game, you can burn up to 350 calories per hour playing singles. Tennis is fun, competitive, and the kind of low impact activity than can be played every day. It’s a wildly popular sport worldwide for good reason. Ideal for the young and the old, tennis is a superb way to let off some steam after a long day and as a workout it can not be overlooked.
A fun way to crank up the amount of calories you burn during tennis training is by doing things like push-ups, squat jumps, burpees and lunges between sets.
