Pickleball: the perfect pastime

In our digital world, finding fun outdoor activities can be a challenge, but pickleball is a refreshing change. This sport is sweeping the nation, and Arizona’s no exception, with tons of courts, shops, clubs and events popping up all over the valley. Pickleball isn’t just a blast. It’s a great way to stay active, especially if you’re looking for something more exciting than walking or running. It’s fast-paced yet easy on the joints, making it perfect for people of all ages. You’ll get a solid cardio workout, improve your hand-eye coordination and boost your agility and endurance. And let’s not forget the social side. The pickleball community is super welcoming and passionate, adding a whole new layer of enjoyment to the game.

Evernorth Care Group’s own Skylar Dunn, Registered Dietitian, had this to say: “Finding a fun activity that you enjoy increases your chances of making regular physical activity a habit. Start building your healthy habit today by participating in activities like pickleball!”
