Are you in a pickle about exercise? Try pickleball, a hybrid of badminton and tennis that is all the rage at the active adult communities and state Senior Games.
“It is good exercise, easy to learn and fun.” says David Johnson, media relations chair for the USA Pickleball Association. “It can be played indoors or outdoors, singles or doubles, is easy for beginners to learn but can develop into a fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players.” The game is played with a whiffle ball and large paddles, and was named for a co-inventor’s dog.
