courts are used to quicken the learning curve and increase the fun.

clinics. For all types of instruction, tennis rackets are available

SOUTHBURY - There is a new way to learn tennis skills for beginners or
former players who would like to get back into the game.
Southbury resident Val Stoiana, a certified tennis professional, former
touring pro and Romanian Davis Cup team member, will offer Tennis Made
Simple beginning Monday, April 4, at Dolce Heritage Tennis Club.
"With a few simple basics, you can be out enjoying the game and improving
your health at the same time," said Mr. Stoiana.
Tennis offers fun and socialization along with exercise. Cleveland Clinic
Heart Center research shows that three hours of moderate aerobic exercise
every week can cut the risk of developing heart disease by 50 percent and
that a 135-pound woman playing an hour of tennis can burn 330 calories
during doubles and 420 calories during singles.
"Fitness is just one of the many benefits tennis has to offer," said Val
Stoiana. "Not only do you build muscle strength and stamina, but you also
improve balance, mental acuity and hand-eye coordination, all while you're
socializing with old friends or making new ones."
The workshop meets twice a week for five weeks, and participants can
choose a combination of days and times: Mondays thru Fridays 10 to 11 a.m.
or 6 to 7 p.m. Saturdays 11 a.m. to noon.
The cost for the five-week program, which is open to the public, is $70.

Everyone wants to be physically fit and healthy, but most people
don't want to spend the time, energy and sweat it takes to achieve it.
Most fitness experts agree, this lack of commitment stems from one
universal problem, boredom.

you don't know it's good for you.
