Why Is Pickleball So Popular (and Such Great Exercise)?

Pickleball — the increasingly popular sport — was created primarily out of boredom. It rapidly expanded from courts on Bainbridge Island in 1965 to being played in all 50 states by 1990.

Fast-forward to 2021: the USA Pickleball Membership surpassed 53,000 members, and the sport continues to expand as people everywhere learn how much fun it is to play and easy it is to learn. And even better — it’s accessible to players of all ages and is a great way to get some exercise.

Quick Workouts When There’s No Time to Exercise

There’s no shame if you feel too busy to exercise or are just not a huge fan of working out. So, what do you do if you have the desire to begin a fitness journey but don’t have the time or don’t know where to begin?

One solution: start small.

Consistently exercising for an hour or more several days a week is a time commitment. It can be hard to know what to do if you’re just starting your fitness routine. Luckily, quick workouts can be effective ways to get moving without sacrificing a big chunk of your schedule.

The Importance of a Good Night’s Rest

Sleep. We could all use a little more of it. According to the CDC, more than a third of Americans are sleep-deprived or suffer from self-imposed sleep deprivation. As a nation, we are not getting enough sleep. This, coupled with the stress of the pandemic, has further disrupted our sleep patterns.

A report from the National Institutes of Health highlighted a study early in the pandemic that “revealed very high rates of clinically significant insomnia,” along with more acute stress, anxiety and depression.
