Golf
More and more women are playing golf. Golf is not a particularly active sport. It involves a lot of skill, concentration and walking through the bushes to find your ball. Your eyesight gets a good workout.
A game of golf takes three to four hours during which time there are lots of stops and starts.
When you’re pushing your buggy up a hilly fairway, your heart-rate is raised. But when you get to the ball, you stop. It might take another five minutes before you’re pushing again and getting your heart-rate up. That is not a control environment. But it does have its benefits.
Cellulite impact: Passive impact. The continual walking is good for you, plus you relax because you’re in a lovely environment – with fresh air. It’s quiet and peaceful (unless you’re not hitting the ball too well).
Golf exercises your:
• Leg muscles
• Arms, back, shoulders and stomach
Tennis
You need to be strong to play tennis – you have to pivot on your feet. If your knees or ankles aren’t strong or you’ve pivoted incorrectly and you’re overweigh^ you can injure yourself.
Tennis is really good for hand-eye coordination. This helps build your sense of alertness. Tennis requires you to move quite vigorously. Make sure you keep hydrated, as it can get hot out there while you are actively keeping your opponent at bay!
Cellulite impact: If you have a pretty good opponent you definitely get to exercise your upper and lower muscle groups.
Tennis exercises your:
• Leg and backside muscles •’Arms, shoulders and chest
• Breathing (heart and lungs)
