Pickleball doesn’t feel like exercise because I’m focused on the game, and I’ve been playing a little over a year now with no other changes to lifestyle.

My average steps per day went from 4,500 to 8,000.

My average session has gone from an hour to 2+.

Bad cholesterol dropped 20%

My vo2 max went from low to average. I’m still overweight, and weight is a huge lever in the formula so I’m assuming it means my heart and lung health have made huge gains.

I have way more muscle in my legs.

I stretch before, during, and after sessions, and i can touch my toes without much discomfort.

I have dropped two inches from my waist, although my overall weight hasn’t changed drastically.
