By Nicolette Linton and Veronika Aquila

Sadly, when male testers were spritzed with the juice, the same didn't apply.

Try: Jo Malone Grapefruit Cologne ($118 for 100 mL, www.jomalone.com); Burts Bees Pink Grapefruit Complexion Mist ($19.99,www.burtsbees.ca).

Great for stamina, strength and coordination, tennis is also a mental workout. "You learn to react quickly -- on and off of the court," says Stephanie Dubois, 19, seven-time National Junior Champion. "I first started playing tennis at five, with my family in Laval, Que." Dubois now trains six days a week, concentrating on cardio, weights, footwork and flexibility. "I feel more confident when I'm in shape," she says.
