Cardio tennis is a new fun, group activity featuring fast paced drills and exercise stations to give an ultimate high energy workout and combines traditional tennis practice with other endurance exercises. If you are looking for a great new way to get in shape and burn calories while improving your tennis skills then Cardio tennis is for you.
Former Wimbledon tennis pro Warren Urquhart and his team of coaching professionals at Cayman Sports Ltd are bringing to Cayman the fitness workout that has taken America by storm.
Each class is one hour long with a short warm up and cool down,
Based at the Camana Bay tennis courts, Warren will be running one hour Cardio Tennis Classes from 5.30pm-9.30pm Monday to Thursday, as well as morning and afternoon classes on Saturdays.
There will also be weekday morning classes at several Seven Mile Beach locations from 6.00am to 8.00am for people who are looking for a pre work session, as well as classes from 8.00am to 10.00am.
Cardio Tennis is designed for players of all levels, with drills geared for both existing and beginner players to get a great cardio workout while improving their skills.
Warren controls the activity so he will challenge your ability and fitness levels while keeping you in your heart rate zone for longer.
The goal is to reach 65-85% of your maximum heart rate and sustain that for 45 minutes. You will have short cycles of high intensity workouts and periods of rest similar to interval training, and when you are not hitting the ball you are doing sideline exercises.
Although you are playing tennis, the primary focus is on getting a great workout.
“People are always looking for something new to mix up their normal fitness routine.” says Warren. “As opposed to running and hitting the gym which can be repetitive and boring, Cardio Tennis offers an energetic fitness alternative, in a fun social environment. During each hour you will improve your tennis skills, burn a ton of calories, get a total body workout, and best of all you are having fun and working on your health and longevity”
The Cardio Tennis classes are for all levels of players and Warren will try and ensure that the groups are as evenly matched as possible with several advanced groups a week for the islands stronger players, as well as classes geared for the beginner so they are not intimidated on the tennis court.
“Cardio Tennis has many benefits for the beginner. They get to experience tennis at a fast and exciting pace and they get to hit all the strokes during each class in a non threatening environment. And as a coach controls the hitting it helps beginners who may normally spend most of their time on the tennis court chasing balls around “
Whether you are a beginner or an accomplished tennis player, Cardio Tennis will increase your fitness, help your reaction time and hand eye coordination, improve your speed and agility, and enhance your movement and balance.
So if you are bored with the same old fitness routine and want to improve your tennis skills with an innovative workout, then get energized with the newest fitness game in town, Cardio Tennis.
