Racquetball burns calories. In fact during a typical
game you'll burn between 600 to 800 calories an hour. Wow, can you
feel that little bulge disappearing?
Racquetball games take about 20 minutes. During that time
you'll run up to a kilometer. That'll keep you fit.
Racquetball players work at a constant rate of 75% to 85% of their
maximum heart rate during a game.
Racquetball offers both aerobic and anaerobic benefits. You
get sustained high heart rate activity and quick bursts of energy during
play. What a great game!
Racquetball works nearly every muscle group, including the sustained
repetitive use of large muscles that increase calorie burn and reduce
fat percentage.
