[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t pickleball for senior citizens [/quote] I just started taking lessons through parks and rec this fall, and I'll tell you --- I don't know how seniors play this! It is EXHAUSTING! I'm literally huffing and puffing to catch my breath. I suppose part of that is (a) playing singles, and (b) playing with others who are just learning and the ball is going all over the place. But DANG! This is really seriousl exercise. I am 122 lbs. 53 yrs old. I swim twice a week, doing yoga most days and walk 3 miles almost every day. I also do some dumbbell weights. So, I'm not out of shape or an old lady. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it so far. It's like tennis without having to serve a perfect serve. I can see how it would be less taxing with doubles... but I don't think I could play this hard for an hour! I'd drop over for sure. [/quote]
