Hitting a Pickleball court is a great way to get accessible exercise and socialize with friends while you play.The up-and-coming sport is a favorite of even Hoda and Jenna! Heather Milton, a senior exercise physiologist at NYU Langone's Sports Performance Center, describes pickleball as an "approachable sport" that combines that benefits of cardiovascular exercise and social connections. Playing in close quarters means it's easy to catch up with a friend — or three — if you play doubles! "When you get on an elliptical or a treadmill, you're moving forward the whole time," Milton explained. "Pickleball gives you a much more well-rounded movement pattern because you are moving in multiple planes of motion and in different directions. It contributes to improving your agility, your muscular endurance as well as hand-eye coordination." Find out the other benefits of playing. |
