Dear Tennis Enthusiast,
If you're like me, you fell in love with the game of tennis the very first time you picked up a racket - and you've worked hard to optimize your skills so you can dominate the competition. And even if you haven't spent years as an avid tennis player, you probably know that ours is one of the most fun and engaging sports in the world. Did you also know that tennis offers a TON of health benefits for everyone from novice to pro?


FACT: Playing three hours of tennis each week cuts your risk of death by any cause by 50%.

FACT: Playing tennis is proven to improve your self-esteem, optimism, cardiovascular health and the development of positive personality traits.

FACT: When you play tennis, you burn up to 420 calories per hour if you're a woman and up to 600 calories per hour if you're a man.

These are the incredible truths that modern medical research has revealed about the long-term health benefits of playing tennis! With so many Americans trying to fit workout routines into their busy schedules, it's no wonder more and more people are trading in boring gym equipment for the fun and fellowship found on the tennis court.
