Noosa Springs has recently trialled a new fitness program for adults called Tennis Fit.

With up to five people per coach, the high-intensity 60-minute workout session involves dynamic tennis games and drills in order to get the heart rate up, while also improving general aerobic fitness.

Tennis Fit is first and foremost a fitness program, more focused on getting people moving and active than on hitting great forehands and backhands.

“The reason the program is so successful is that people find it a fun way to work out and increase their cardio fitness while also improving their tennis skills and enjoying themselves,” Noosa Springs director of tennis Glenn Irwin said.

“No more being confined to a machine like many other fitness activities.”

With the current focus on healthy living, keeping fit and staying in-shape, Glenn believes Tennis Fit will be the next big thing in tennis in Australia following its success in the United States and Europe.

While other activities give a great workout, Tennis Fit challenges in more ways, like running, moving sideways and stretching.

This ensures the heart rate is elevated through high-intensity segments followed by a short period of recovery, which is very similar to interval training.

All the evidence indicates that to improve overall health and reduce the risk of heart disease, we need at least 30 (up to 60) minutes of moderate intensity aerobic exercise most, if not all, days of the week.

Tennis Fit can go a long way towards helping people achieve this health benefit while providing a complete workout.

If you are looking for a new, fun way to improve your fitness and tennis and if you are hungry to improve your health, Tennis Fit is the answer.
