HELLO EVERYONE!
Exercise to me is a very basic need. I seldom go to the gym these past few months and was able to flip on to more cardio routines. And my favorite cardio exercise is playing Lawn Tennis.
For two months I have been working out my Lawn Tennis play I noticed how my body reacted towards change and betterment. It not only made my pores widened or made my skin harbor melanin, but it also made me lose weight that enables me to move freely. Training and rallying across the net flourished my confidence and I am happy for that.
Slowly, I am able to catch up with my pace. It was hard to start all over again and awaken my forgotten passion in tennis. However, I overcame what is supposed to be difficult. A battle between 'Should I continue?' and 'Should I give up?'.
I took me an ample and sensible time to think about it knowing I am no longer in my teenage years, I'm already in my productive stage whaerein I find my own living. Too many things to consider I guess.
My tennis schedule is every Saturday and Sunday, makes me run and hit the ball for hours without worries because it's a day-off. I am a member of the Aparri Tennis Club and I play at the court twice a week. Well I find my tennis walling practice atleast thrice a week after work at Cagayan State University, Aparri Campus.
Tennis is not a common sports here in the Philippines, a rare sport with not so many courts acattered around. Only few play this sport because of limited resources and costly equipment. Oddly, they say it's a game for elites but I am not rich. I am certain for this for I play with known Doctors, Engineers, and lots of Businessmen. I am so delighted but I am sometimes hesitant to play with them.
Tennis is another way for me to relax and release the stress within me. It is my therapy for all the bad vibes. In fact, I can feel all serotonin hormones going out my system after I play tennis. I love this sport because it burns my fats (well all sports will do but this one makes me exert more effort and energy).
Sometimes when I don't have someone to play with I look for a wall and start hitting the ball towards the ball and imagining a certain horizontal line with the height of a tennis net and begin chasing the ball. Walling is much more difficult I believe than having an opponent because I am forced to hit the ball back and control the ball. The same energy is brought back towards me. The wall is a great rival! It brings out the best in me and elevates my agility.
Spending hours in tennis makes me forget problems in life. It clears my mind and gives me a strong mental ability to look on a more optimistic perspective. This sport helps me in a rational decisions and control every emotion from spilling. I definitely would love to recommend tennis for all of you.
I MAY NOT WIN EVERY MATCH I PLAY BUT I KNOW I ALWAYS WIN THE BATTLE!
Hence, I give you the result of my Lawn Tennis saga, which made me faster, tanner, leaner, and stronger!
