Question:    Can I get fit playing ping pong/ table tennis?
 
Answer:        Yes you can.  Here are the stats:
 
Recreation ping pong  - 200 calories/hour
Professional table tennis athlete (moderate drills) – 800 calories/hour
Professional table tennis athlete (highest intensity) – 1000 calories/hour
-Compared to-
Running 7mph – 800 calories
 
     The statistics show that in table tennis, there is a tremendous difference between playing at recreationally vs playing professionally.  So the common question is, how can I (as a rec player) get fit from table tennis?  The answer is footwork and repetition. 
     The professional players are so fit because they move for each ball and attack many balls without missing.  If you spend 2 minutes searching for the ball under the furnace every point, you won’t get a great workout.  Newgy Robo-pong has helped thousand of recreation to professional players get in better shape.  You don’t need to be a professional player to get fit with only 30 minutes/day.  The robot can give dozens of different footwork drills that will keep your entire body moving while keeping your mind sharp, developing hand/eye coordination, and teaching you a new skill.
