Padel gives a great low impact, high-energy cardio workout. It is similar to tennis but the court size is half the size of a normal tennis court. The court is within an enclosure allowing you to use the sides in attack or when returning.

The ‘padels’ are like large table tennis bats and can give the ball impressive speed. Tennis balls are used – with the pressure slightly reduced to make them softer. But whether you are playing singles or doubles, it is still a demanding sport.
