Every achievement begins with a decision to do it. Ignorance destroys so many opportunities that come to our life every day.

Comparing Pickleball to other racket or paddle sports
It’s easier to learn than the other racket or paddle sports. I find that keeping the correct score to be the hardest thing about Pickleball. I taught many friends how to play pickleball and they were able to play within 10 minutes compared to tennis that takes hours to learn how to serve correctly. Ping Pong takes hours to learn how to read and hit spin. Racquetball takes hours to learn how the ball bounces and the angles.
- Racquetball if you make a mistake it’s over.
- Tennis is the most running and fitness but if you make a mistake by running can stay in the point
- Ping Pong or Table Tennis is reading spin with the same advantage of staying in the point.
High-intensity interval training (HIIT)
What Is High-Intensity Interval Training?
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a form of cardiovascular exercise that alternates short bursts of intense anaerobic exercise with brief recovery periods. It’s a workout strategy that typically involves performing exercises at maximum or near-maximum effort for a set interval of time, followed by a short rest or low-intensity exercise period. The key characteristic of HIIT is its intensity and the alternation between high-intensity bursts and recovery periods. HIIT workouts are known for being efficient, as they can often be completed in a shorter amount of time compared to traditional steady-state cardio workouts while providing similar or even greater benefits in terms of cardiovascular fitness, calorie burn, and metabolic improvements. HIIT can be customized to suit various fitness levels and preferences, with exercises ranging from sprinting and cycling to bodyweight exercises like burpees, jumping jacks, or high knees. This versatility makes HIIT accessible to many people, and it can be adapted to different fitness goals, whether it’s weight loss, improving endurance, or increasing overall fitness levels.
