I play tennis 5 days out of 7 at a very serious standard for 2 hours at a time,90 mins actually on court allowing 30 mins for short breaks inbetween games,singles too...... How good is this for my plan to lose at least a stone along with my calorie controlled diet?

    I'd definitely say so. My favorite part about it is that you're not really thinking about cardio or burning calories at all. One minute I feel like I'm beat, but the next I find myself sprinting for a ball that I barely think I can reach. lol
