Tennis anyone?

I’m 67 and have contemplated taking up tennis and lessons for cardio. My knees and legs don’t have a lot is strength so I thought tennis might be the ticket. Thoughts?

Get a Peloton bike for cardio and take Yoga classes for flexibility . You will be one happy man .

Just taking up tennis now you risk pulling muscles and twisting joints . .Tennis is a great sport but you kinda needed that flexibility and stamina in the cardio to jump into it. 

You will get more cardio workout in 30 min on a Peloton bike than you will playing tennis all day without the aching joints.

You cant beat Yoga for building flexibility and balance, to your body . Dont think for a second its not a big workout . You will be sweating . The only risk you have with Yoga is dying from a heart attach when viewing the scenery around you .

Back when the local YMCA was open - before the current virus crap - I used to watch people playing Pickle Ball and it seems to be alot gentler than Tennis , but the Yoga classes mentioned above sounds like a good idea !

I’ve done a yoga class. It’s def not easy and I liked it. Will consider.
