I just got done playing 2 full sets of Tennis, so 12 full games with a buddy of mine, for about an hour and 15 minutes. We also play 3 full sets of 18 games on Saturday mornings.
I never realized how many calories you can burn playing Tennis. I am fairly new to Tennis but am somewhat familiar with it because I used to play lots of Raquetball. They are somewhat similar I suppose. :)

Anyway, Tennis is pretty fun and it's great exercise. I am sure most of you know that, but I thought I would share it.
I do this on top of 3 days at the gym doing cardio and a little bit of weight training.
Whew, I am tired now!

Have a great day to all!!

    We love it. I think we actually burn more calories giggling at each other than actually playing, but it is a fantastic workout! :bigsmile:
