The courts and nets used in the Red stage are much smaller making it easier for kids to move around and enjoy success. Red level players may be beginners, improvers or even advanced players.

What is Cardio Tennis?

Cardio Tennis is a fun, social, group tennis-fitness program for people of all ages and abilities.
It is a high energy fitness activity that combines the best features of the sport of tennis with cardiovascular exercise, delivering the ultimate, full body, calorie burning aerobic workout.

In a 60-minute Cardio Tennis workout, women can burn up to 500 calories per workout and men up to 800. 

If you do regular Cardio Tennis workouts, you’ll feel better and your hand-eye coordination, tennis skill and fitness level will also benefit. 

Participants wear heart rate monitors, exercise to music, use Cardio Tennis balls and a variety of equipment, including agility ladders. The workout is comprised of a warm-up, cardio segment (drill-based and play-based activities) and a cool down.

Participants consistently elevate their heart rates into their aerobic training zone
Participants can burn more calories than singles or doubles tennis
Cardio Tennis is similar to interval training which is periods of high intensity followed by short periods of rest. Interval training is the best way to train for optimal health and fitness
While participants are playing tennis, their focus is primarily on getting a great workout

Improve your tennis skills

The best thing about Cardio Tennis is that you do not have to be good at tennis to get involved. In fact, it doesn’t matter if you’ve never played before.
