Let Off Steam: Tennis
Watching sport on TV, you could be forgiven for thinking that tennis is all about stress: two tennis warriors battling it out for hours on end – the blood, the sweat, the tension, the tears.
But of course it doesn’t HAVE to be like this. You can also enjoy a leisurely game with your friends, and doubling up means the pace can become a bit more leisurely.
Why tennis relieves stress:
1) It activates all kinds of muscles, releasing endorphins which give you a natural high.
2) It focuses your mind on intense problem solving which doesn’t stop until the game ends.
3) It make you feel like you’re doing something. That’s always got to help, hasn’t it?
4) It’s something which you can get your aggression out with – that has to be a healthy thing after a long hard slog through a working week consisting of meeting after meeting after meeting…
5) It gets you fit. You then feel more positive about your image and you don’t comfort eat because you don’t want to ruin it. Even my friend Doug Hyde – who used to be very overweight – enjoys a game on the weekends, and now look at him, it’s hard to get him to put his racket down!
All in all, few people have reasons not to play tennis. As an upper-body workout it’s fantastic, and as a lower-body workout it’s something which doesn’t mean going to teh gym, which is always noce. All in all, it’s accessible for people with all levels of mobility, so why not give it a shot?
