1-5-16 HY: Tennis + Splits + TCF.

After a two week break, today was TENNIS DAY!!! It started off pretty rough. Taking a 2 week break really throws back the skills. But after about 20 minutes, my playing partner and I started to get the groove back and we had some pretty bangin' awesome rallies. I got warmed up a bit faster because I jumped out to a quick 6-0 first set. But once he got warmed up, we were pretty even. I only got to 4-0 before our time ran out. I use a different type of scoring that I all Net Ball Scoring. Basically, we each have three balls and we rally until all the balls are either in the net or not in our hands to play. Whoever has less balls to pick up on their side of the net gets one game. If all six balls are on the other side of the net, you get two games. If there are 3 balls on each side, no game is awarded. So even if I hit more winning shots, I have to hit balls so my opponent nets the balls. It is sort of like no add scoring that is used in Team Tennis. But a few factors also had some influence: 1. it was pretty cold in the gym. We play in my universities gymnasium. The surface is a slick wooden floor so the balls are really fast and skip. A lot of fun. 2. My right shoulder and outer pectoral was pretty sore. 3. Since it was cold, the balls were a lot harder and felt heavier. But it was great to get back into the game.

At the end of the tennis, I torched a huge 925kcals.

I did the Splits and Flow when I got home. I did some extra stretches to open up my hips. I'm still having trouble with my front hip flexors. If anyone has a good stretch to loosen that front hip flexor, please, let me know.
