The best reasons for playing tennis include improving your health, confidence, and mental clarity.  If you’re looking to challenge your body and mind, here are five reasons why you need to pick up a racquet this summer.

• Get In Shape: You’ll love how good you feel after a cardio-packed class on the tennis courts. Tennis requires plenty of stamina and involves a lot of running, swinging, and reaching—all great ways to tone your core, quads, and arms.
• Play Long-Term: While there are always fitness considerations worth addressing with your doctor, tennis is a recreational sport that can be played at any age. From young children to seniors, you won’t find a better activity that continues to challenge you as the years go on.
• Live Longer: Speaking of an activity that you can play until you’re old—do you know why there are so many senior play tennis? Studies show that tennis is great for improving longevity because of its major physical, mental, and emotional benefits. Just watch out for tennis elbow.
• Expand Your Social Circle: Tennis is a sport that can help make you friends and business connections, both on and off the court. A couple that you play doubles with at the tennis club could eventually become regular dinner companions.
• Have Fun With Your Family: As a sport for all ages and ability levels, tennis is a perfect way for families to bond. Instead of spending a Saturday morning watching cartoons, your family can sweat it out on the court.
