Do you get tired of doing the same gym routine week in and week out? Well, one great way to shake things up and start enjoying your workouts again is by taking up a new sport, such as padel. Here are some of the main benefits of playing Padel as your new form of exercise.
HAND-EYE COORDINATION
Between trying to get the ball over the net and actually tracking the ball as it bounces off the walls, Padel will get you to constantly make use of your hand-eye coordination in order to stay ahead of the game and win each point.
GOOD FOR YOUR BODY
While Padel is similar to tennis, the smaller court and the opportunity to hit the ball off walls make this sport easier on your knees. Also, because the ball is slower than a tennis ball and the serve is underarm, it’s easier on your spine as well. Naturally, the underarm service, as opposed to tennis’s overarm service, provides less shoulder strain as well.
IT’S SOCIAL
Similar to other racket sports, Padel affords you the chance to play against others and socialize in a deeply personal way. Whether you’re playing a singles game or perhaps a doubles game with a partner, Padel is a great way to meet new people and build friendships.
