The sport of tennis is not only fun, but it provides several health benefits as well. One of which, according to Dr. Jack Groppel, is that people who play at least three hours of tennis a week cut their chances of death from any cause or health risk in half. I don’t know about you, but I am going to start playing a little more tennis according to that statistic.

Another benefit is that competitive tennis burns more calories than aerobics such as in-line skating or cycling. Lastly, according to Dr. Jim Gavin, tennis outperforms other sports in developing positive personal characteristics such as self-esteem and self-worth.

Below is a list of exercises that will help your tennis game by increasing your muscular strength and endurance. I recommend performing two to three sets of 15 to 20 repetitions. Good luck!!

The Tennis Player’s Workout

He has claimed to have helped the United States spy on North Vietnam during the Vietnam War, and took part in the CIA financed secret war against the communists.

“Nobody messes with me, I am a warrior, I am Seh Daeng,” he says.

But now he may be known as an aerobics instructor.

Seh Daeng was said to be furious when he was assigned to promote aerobics. The order was given by Thai Army Chief General Anupong Paojinda.

Seh Daeng was ordered to be part of an army team promoting better health and sports. The team, led by Lt. Gen. Chirasit Kesakomol, another army specialist, will meet Seh Daeng to work out the plan to promote aerobics at various market places.

The Major General said his new job was not suitable for him.

“It is ridiculous to send me, a warrior, to dance at markets,” he said.

Seh Daeng knows only one dance, and it’s a doozy:

“The army chief wants me to be a presenter leading aerobic dancers. I have prepared one dance. It’s called the throwing-a-hand-grenade dance,” said the General.
