Good morning guys. So I saw this question on Google again while I was looking for topics related to pickleball
0:06
It said, is pickleball a good workout? And that's a great question. You know, I'm a physical therapist
0:11
My name is Tony Maritato. If you don't know me, I've been in Middletown, Ohio, treating pickleball players for a lot of years
0:19
And one of the things that I love about pickleball is, yeah, it's a good workout. It's a great workout
0:24
It includes strength. It includes power. It includes coordination and all of the things that we want to do as aging adults
0:33
So I love pickleball for lots of reasons. I love the social aspect. I love the camaraderie
0:40
I love that I can go out and meet new people and truly I've never met an angry or foul or frustrated pickleball player
0:49
like they're always so welcoming uh to a new player like me coming into the sport but in terms
0:57
of workout it's all about your intensity it's all about it what your goals are if you're out there
1:03
to socialize awesome do it get it done enjoy it but if you're out there to break a sweat keep the
1:10
intensity up reduce the duration of the rest breaks find players at your level or slightly
1:17
above your level that are going to challenge you, that are going to make you move around on the
1:21
court. You know, on this channel, this YouTube channel, I've got other videos talking about
1:25
footwork for pickleball and other exercises, and I plan to continue to add videos to the channel
1:31
So if you want to know anything specific about pickleball or making pickleball your primary
1:37
workout routine, like any of the cardiovascular benefits, the strength benefits, absolutely post
1:43
questions like that in the comments below this video and I will catch you on the next video
