Recommended Answer:

It is outstanding for muscle tone, strength, and flexibility. If it is something you enjoy doing, it would be a terrific exercise activity. If your main goal is weight loss, you may want to also mix in some aerobic exercise (e.g. running or cycling) to help. I absolutely consider it a sport. Good luck!
