Today I scheduled as a rest day because I knew I would be jetlagged and I wouldn't be able to think very much today so yeah today is my rest day. When I say rest day I mean resting from work not working out because today I did a very fun and new and rigorous workout. Today's workout came in the form of a new sport that is a sweeping the nation called Pickleball. Basically, if I were to describe it in one phrase, I would say Pickleball is a hybrid of tennis/paddleball/table tennis. The big characteristics are that the racket is like an greatly oversized ping pong paddle with no rubber, and the ball is basically a whiffle ball. Not a big bounce, and not a lot of spin can be put on the ball. The lines are a lot like badminton. The rules regarding the lines is like any game with lines, but there are a couple rules that handcuffed me several times. But overall, I had a lot of fun and burned a bunch of calories. I played about 10 sets with and against several different teams. I lost some and won some.
In the end, after almost three and a half hours of play, I torch 1535kcals. Hugely fun way to burn calories.
Here are a few shots of my session:
