Us Open Tennis – Weight Loss Diet Solutions

If it is late August then it must be time for the US Open tennis tournament.

I have been a huge tennis fan since I played as a kid and have gone through so many US Open tennis tournaments on TV. I have watched everyone from Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe, Mats Wilander, Peter Chang, Pete Sampras, and of course my favorite Andre Aggasi.

Of course the best mens players these days are Roger Federer and Raphael Nadal.

This year times are changing for the mens draw though with Novak Djokovic being the number 1 seed and Nadal as 2nd seed and Federer is down to 7th seed but I sure would never want to count him out.

I hate to say it but I have not watched too much womens tennis over the last few years but saw tonight that Venus Williams beat seeded player in the first round and her sister Serena Williams is the number 1 seed again this year.

Are you going to be watching the US Open this year? Are you a tennis fan like me?

Well I know what I will be doing in the evenings this week and next anyway, watching the some of the greatest sports in the world. Night tennis at the US Open!

Cardio Tennis

As we all know tennis is great exercise for brief periods of time. When I was younger I played a lot of tennis and really enjoyed the sport becase of the competition, skill, startegy and also because it was the funnest way that I knew of to get some good exercise. If you play tennis for an hour you could expect to burn 500 calories if you were running you would burn over 1100 calories so tennis is not the best workout from a caloric burning standpoint.

Enter Cardio Tennis.

I was listening to a interview on an online health radio station today and heard a great interview with on of the people involved with Cardio Tennis.

Cardio Tennis is a series of drills that you do as a group that instead of really correcting your game instead the goal is to make you burn more calories. Cardio Tennis was recognized at the US Open tennis championships last year and is a great new way of getting great exercise and still having a lot of fun. If you are a tennis player already then Cardio Tennis si a great way to improve your fitness and stamina for your game. If you are not a tennis player then you get a nice hard workout and because of the way the workout is set up you will not have to be a good player to start with.

The website has a fair amount of information on the workouts and there are certified trainers that can get you started and conduct classes
