That’s right, we all know there are constantly new fitness trends coming around, and thank God for that, or we’d all get really bored with the same old exercise routine, and resort to being couch potatoes all the time.

This newest fitness routine involves something that is already somewhat of an active sport to begin with unlike some of it’s other leisure sport counterparts like bowling, golfing and other sports where one barely moves around and gets the heart rate up. It’s tennis, more specifically it’s called “cardio tennis”.

The cardio tennis workout combines the use of cones, tennis and several other endurance and heart conditioning exercises that are meant to get you into cardiovascular shape, while having fun and performing moves that will definitely get you sore in places that you don’t think about working very often for the simple fact that you just don’t “think about” them that often.

The games of tennis are more focused on building cardio endurance than actually hitting the balls and playing what would be considered a killer game of tennis, and they usually run anywhere from $10 to $20 for a session (which unfortunately could get a little pricey if you ask me, but the price of fitness sometimes doesn’t come cheap, especially if you don’t want to get bored and enjoy being pushed to perform, rather than constantly working out on your ellipticals and treadmills at home all the time, which can get old).

There is a stretching routine that is done at the outset of the whole routine, and it really is treated more as a workout than as a tennis game, with more attention placed on the movements of the legs and feet, which are all meant to train and condition the body, get the heart rate up, and burn some serious food off.
