It's my opinion that for general fitness the best exercise is the one or ones you love to do. For many people this means doing some less-than-traditional forms of exercise(calisthenics, weight lifting, aerobics) such as sports, games or other activity that puts the body in motion. One great example is tennis. I'm not a great tennis player. I have played in the past with my brother-in-law, and I know from experience it can be a great workout. Key words- can be. For one thing, it requires skill, but it is a skill most people can develop and improve. The major drawback for some is that you need an opponent or partner, preferably one of compatible skill and fitness levels. For those of you that have exhausted your local circle of friends and family in search of a tennis partner Juump comes to the rescue. Juump is a free online tennis community site. You can set up your own profile letting other members know your skill level, where you like to play, the times of day that you're available, if you are interested in playing singles, doubles, looking for someone to practice with, or get in a workout.  With the simple input of your 5 digit zip code you'll quickly be able to find players and courts in your area. Clicking on a member's profile will show their info, making it easy to decide if they would be suitable for your interests. If they are, you can send them a message or invite them to play. Juump will also let you know of any groups or events that other members have added, or you can create, organize and promote your own. Juump has details of the facilities in your neighborhood like the number of courts, court surface, and whether or not there are fees, or membership requirements. And don't forget- it's all FREE! No charge to create your profile, search for other players, or access any of their other resources. So for those of you that used to enjoy tennis but stopped because you don't have anyone to play with, or those wanting to get started but don't know anyone or anyplace to play you have no more excuses. Click the link below to visit Juump and start playing and having fun.
