The easiest way to lose weight

Running for an hour burns only half the calories. At badminton there are players from beginner level to advanced competition level, so you choose how fanatical you make it.
You improve your muscle building and stay fit
Every stroke in badminton is a mini-workout that shapes your body, whether you’re hitting a hard smash or playing a subtle net drop. You train your abs, your glutes, hamstrings, calves and your condition improves while playing. The badminton trainers provide fun and varied training sessions in which you learn all the basic strokes and put the muscles to work.
Sweating is good for your skin
When you play badminton, your body regularly sweats in a natural way. This contributes to unclogging your pores and has a good effect on your skin: you don’t even have to go to an expensive sauna or wellness!
