BENEFITS OF PLAYING CARDIO TENNIS

All evidence indicates that to improve overall health and reduce the risk of heart disease, we need at least 30 (up to 60) minutes of moderate intensity aerobic exercise ...most if not all days of the week.             

Cardio Tennis helps you realize this health benefit while giving you a complete workout.

Get into your aerobic heart rate zone (see chart below) ... and stay there

To improve fitness and reduce future health risks it is desirable to have the person elevate the heart rate into their individualized aerobic target training zone ...and stay there. Cardio Tennis will elevate a person's heart rate into their aerobic zone.

The basic calculation is done this way:

• 220 - your age = your maximum acceptable heart rate

•The player's ideal Cardio Tennis workout zone is 65 to 85 percent of this number

Please note: any player who is recovering from major surgery or is not in shape at all may want to set their aerobic range at levels at least 10% lower than the norm or 55 to 75 percent of their maximum heart rate.

Please consult your physician before starting any physical workout program.
