Padel World Press .- Due to its ease and social character, paddle tennis has become 'the sport of the third millennium' in Spain, with more than three million practitioners. Beyond being a very entertaining discipline, paddle tennis can be considered as the perfect ally in the 'Operation Bikini' since, as assured Alex Jordan, physical trainer of some of the best stars of the World Paddle Tour Circuit and component of the Adidas team: "It helps both eliminate fats, burn calories, and tone muscles".
Playing paddleball brings great benefits to our body. As Álex himself pointed out: "It's an easy sport to learn and very entertaining since we first took a shovel until we reached the professional level. While we are having fun, and almost without realizing it, our body is constantly working. "
Then Álex summarizes in these 5 points the most remarkable benefits for our body when playing padel:
Burn calories: In a game of paddle you can get to burn between 400-700kcal depending on whether it is male or female as well as the intensity of it. Although short and maximum intensity efforts are made, the accumulation of them makes the paddle an aerobic or endurance sport, which favors the burning of fats.
Toning glutes: Three sets of 12 squats in the gym with their own weight, approximately equivalent to 20 low wall outputs in semi-flexion. The squat effect can be trained more by moving to the bottom wall and lowering the hips. It will be like working full legs in the gym, but in a more entertaining way.
Increase muscle tone: Speed, coordination and power are the most worked and necessary physical qualities for the paddle. Performed at maximum intensity, increase energy expenditure and, above all, muscle tone. In this way the contour of each muscle is defined more and helps to have a more 'fit' appearance.
Mold twins: It is the muscles that work the most. The forward and backward starts, in addition to maintaining the weight at the tips of the feet, are movements that depend on this musculature. Therefore, these displacements will allow the calves to be modeled more and better.
Improve agility At the same time that we tone the body, the padel improves our coordination of movements, and therefore, our agility and our reflexes.
So you know…. Paddle tennis is ideal to keep fit and a great opportunity to lose those extra kilos that we have been taking this winter.
Out worries, zero laments and enjoy a magnificent sport that will help us prepare and shape our body for the expected summer.
