Here at Raworth Tennis Centre we have 3 Coaches who have recently completed the Cardio Tennis workshop training. The following information is taken from the Tennis Australia website:
“Cardio Tennis is a fun, social, group tennis-fitness program for people of all ages and abilities. It’s more about getting a great, high-energy workout than pure tennis technique.
You don’t have to be Rafael Nadal or Sam Stosur to enjoy the energising
workout that is Cardio Tennis! Constant movement is the focus as a
Tennis Australia qualified coach guides you through a series of fun and
heart-pumping drills that cater for all abilities and fitness levels. An average Cardio Tennis workout runs for 45 to 60 minutes and is comprised of:
- 5-10 minute warm-up
- 30-50 minute cardio tennis segment with drill-based and play-based activities
- 5-10 minute cool down
- Participants wear heart rate monitors, exercise to music, use low-compression balls and a variety of equipment, including agility ladders. And, at the end of your session, you can check your stats on the
heart-rate monitor to find out just how hard you worked!

Cardio Tennis is enjoyed best with friends – male or female. If you like exercising in a group, then you will find Cardio Tennis the perfect motivator.
Get a group of mates together or make some new friends in a fun and
active atmosphere!
As well as being social, it’s a great way to boost your fitness and lose
weight. According to the Tennis Industry Association, during a Cardio
Tennis session, women will burn between 1260 and 2100 kilojoules per hour, and men will burn around 2100–3360 kilojoules per hour (on average).”
So if you fancy having a go at this fabulous new exercise program please call Linda on 02 49333750!
