Fast & Fun for Everyone
The following list was adapted from one develped by USA Table Tennis (www.usatt.org).
1. It gets your heart pumping. A fast-moving game can burn up to 300 calories an hour. That’s the equivalent of a 27-minute power walk.
2. The quick hand and eye movements sharpen reflexes.
3. It’s a gentle, low-impact sport that’s easy on your body.
4. Almost anyone can play, so families can enjoy it together.
5. You can play it all your life, and you can begin playing at any age.
6. Since it’s usually played indoors, you can play in any weather.
7. Because it requires thinking, planning and strategizing, it keeps your brain mentally sharp as you age.
8. If you want to put one in your home (and have the space), tables are fairly inexpensive.
9. It’s a workout for your upper and lower body.
10. Table tennis clubs give you a way to socialize and meet new people.
