You should already know that physical fitness is important to keep the human body healthy and in shape. There are many great sports out there that give the body a complete workout, and tennis is definitely one of them. Tennis is an extreme full body workout, since you are moving, twisting and turning constantly as you follow the ball. You don’t need separate cardio routines when you play tennis.
Whether you decide to join a competitive tennis group or just play for fun with friends, you’ll need some basic equipment in order to get started.
Basic Tennis Equipment
There are a few things you need, aside from a great tennis court to play in, in order to become a tennis pro (or just play for fun). Even to just play for fun with friends, you’ll need some basic tennis gear and equipment in order to get started. You need a racket, tennis balls, you need some comfortable clothes you can move in. You’ll also need a good pair of tennis shoes since you need to be able to quickly move to a ball flying your way and hit it with a tennis racket back across the net, and not out of bounds. Depending on how often you play, you may also need extra strings for your racket.
