WINTER is usually the season to play badminton and we see around us people of all ages indulging in the game during the winter. Even ladies and girls are not lagging behind in this respect. Badminton is a good sport as it helps us to stay fit and keep us in a good shape. It is a great way to have useful physical workouts when it is difficult to go out because of countless people and traffic on the roads. Playing badminton regularly improves our reflexes, muscle strength and helps us to shed some weight. It also develops athleticism in us.
In many localities, we see badminton tournaments are organized which generate great enthusiasm and inspiration among the members of the younger folks. Each place where a similar tournament is organised gives the area a festive look. The scope for physical activities is shrinking in cities, playing badminton can be a suitable alternative. It is also a great way to draw the young people to a healthy sport like badminton. It is a good way to socialise and meet new people.
