Cardio Tennis has arrived at TennisGear!
Cardio Tennis is a fun, social, group tennis-fitness program for people of all ages and abilities. It’s more about getting a great, high-energy workout than pure tennis technique.
You don’t have to be Rafael Nadal or Sam Stosur to enjoy the energising workout that is Cardio Tennis! Constant movement is the focus as a Tennis Australia qualified coach guides you through a series of fun and heart-pumping drills that cater for all abilities and fitness levels.
An average a Cardio Tennis workout runs for 45 to 60 minutes and is comprised of:
5-10 minute warm-up
30-50 minute cardio tennis segment with drill-based and play-based activities
5-10 minute cool down
You don’t need to know how to play tennis to take part in this fun tennis-inspired workout! It’s not about slices, back-hands, aces or smashes. It’s all about chasing the ball around the court for an hour, to music, having lots of fun and burning off 600 calories or more in the process. What’s stopping you? Come join the fun!
