Trying New Things

I should preface this post by telling you that I am trying to learn how to play tennis.  It is a horrible disaster.  I used to be a volleyball player and having that mentality does not mesh well with the game of tennis.  Let's just say "finesse" is not my thing.

Either way, I woke up this morning and reserved a ball machine at the tennis courts.  I got through 4 1/2 baskets.  Only hitting one ball out of my court, (which is a HUGE improvement) before I hit a ball right back into the feeder and stopped the machine.  This really is my luck.  I then decided to try to serve. Well, let's just say that if hitting them into the net scored points, I'd be a champion.  Turned out to be a great workout though.. finished up on the courts after an hour of embarrassment then met my mom at the gym.

Today, I started training my mom. I'm moving back to my home town and so now her and I can work out together.   She's dedicated to getting in the gym and I am so proud of her.  We may have to start out slow, but getting in the gym is the hardest part!  Below is a rundown of what we accomplished:

Warm-up on Treadmill for 10 minutes.  I ran a mile.

15 Modified Tricep Pushups on Bosu Ball
15 Modified Pushups on Bosu Ball

So today we covered Tri-ceps, Shoulders, Quads, Inner Thighs, and Core.  Next time we go we'll cover, Biceps, Back, Hamstrings, Calves and Core.

Felt good after working out today.  Going to fit a good run in tomorrow!
