Let’s face it. As we grow older, we also grow slower. As tennis players, as we age, we also play more doubles. Unless you are among the cowards who stay back all the time, you’re going to spend a lot of time at the net. If you have a slow reaction time, you’re going to lose a lot of points at best.

Just came across an interesting video which will probably be of great interest to a lot of you. First off, let me state upfront that this is not an affiliate link.

Maybe it is our waist that should matter more than the scales? But then again, what about that guy at the tennis club who boasts how he still has the same pant size as when he was in high school…but he looks like he might deliver twins any day now?
