• 0:38
  Speaker 2: bit of fun and a bit of a way to
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: stay active with your mates, have some music going. It
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: is a bit of hitting, a bit of play based activities.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: It is just a lot of fun.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: That sounds it does sound like it's going to be
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: a lot of fun. So you don't have to be
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: like an elite tennis player to take part.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Do you.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Absolutely not. It is really really good for beginners to

  Speaker 2: get into. Yeah.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And so it is about celebrating International Women's Day,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: but I understand that there's also going to be proceeds
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: from the day going towards the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Correct. We just thought this is a disease that I
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: guess kills a lot of women and has been through
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: a lot of family, so we thought it was important
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: for us to support that foundation and anyone going through it. Yeah,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: we couldn't be happier to be taking part in that. Yeah.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I reckon it's a really good thing to do, and
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I reckon it sounds like a fun way to celebrate
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: International Women's Day as well, getting out there and playing
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: a bit of sport.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, it is one of the funnest things you can
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: do that I think, and it's a really good introduction
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: to it.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: How cool.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: So how does cardio tennis differ from normal tennis?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: So? I guess normal tennisee is just hitting with somebody,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: might just play some games or anything like that. But
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: cardio is just music on as loud as we can,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun, just keeping you moving around the court,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: just trying to keep the heart rate up and have
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: so much fun on doing it.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Oh that sounds good.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever played, well, I haven't played
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of tennis assityes heamily, but I'm not very
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: good at it.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: But with the music going, that'd be good.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I reckon, you should probably come down.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: You might be wishing I didn't when I can't hit
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: a ball, but.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: That's okay, it's the beginning to remember.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: That is very true. Now tell me how can people
• 2:45
