Playing with the Lobster Elite 3 is so much fun because it can send the ball anywhere on the court! It is a better workout than a person and it is more fun because the machine never tires out!
Tennis is one of those games that can make a workout fun. It improves your mental focus, hand-eye coordination, and improves flexibility in the joints, particularly your hips and serving shoulder. It also tones the arms, calves, hamstrings, quadriceps, shoulders, and upper back.
Increased physical activity has been shown to decrease the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure, increase energy, and reduce stress and anxiety. Studies have shown that older tennis players have significantly lower body-fat levels than sedentary people of similar ages.
Much of a person's decline in fitness is caused by disuse and not by aging, according to Dr. Robert Leach, vice chairman of the USTA Sport Science Committee. Leach has observed that people who started playing tennis at a young age and continued throughout their lifetimes retained the highest level of fitness. Even resuming playing tennis later in life still returned significant benefits, including maintaining aerobic capacity at higher levels than those who don't.
"The good news," according to U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala "is that you don't have to train like an Olympic athlete to enjoy the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Participating in activities such as tennis or at least 30 minutes per day, most days of the week, is good for your health and good for your future."
Yes. As with all strenuous physical activities, you reduce your risk of injury by stretching to warm up your muscles. Five to ten minutes of stretching your major muscle groups should suffice.
