Honestly, tennis is great exercise, but for weight loss, you really need to consider your diet too. I always worry if I'm doing enough, or if the intensity is right. Just make sure you're consistent and have a good balance.

Dekho bhai, any physical activity helps. But saying tennis specifically is 'good for weight loss' is too general. Everyone's body is different. Don't just blindly follow internet gyaan; always talk to a doc or a proper trainer to know what works for YOU. They can give a tailored plan.

Haan, tennis is very active, so definitely burns calories. My neighbour lost quite a bit just by playing regularly. But remember, a sustainable diet is also key. Don't go for extremes, just simple ghar ka khana and regular movement works best.

Initially, I was so worried about finding the 'perfect' exercise for weight loss. But honestly, any sport you enjoy and stick to, like tennis, will help. Don't stress too much about it being the absolute best; consistency is key. You'll definitely see results if you play regularly.

I've been thinking about getting into tennis for a while, partly for fitness and partly for fun. If it helps with weight loss too, that's a bonus! I guess consistent effort and enjoying the sport is what matters most. Good question, I was wondering the same.
