Seniors at the Baldwin Senior Center in Stratford are getting their exercise in a unique way.
Pickleball, a sport becoming popular with seniors, combines badminton, tennis and ping pong.
Richard Astin, who's in his 70s and is a cancer survivor, says you don't have to be in shape and that anyone can play pickleball.
"It's good cardio for you, it's great for your reflexes," says Astin.
