In the gym I do endless one legged forward and reverse squats with twists and reaches thrown in. There are a few interesting things about this. No, really there are.

Go ahead, get down into a squat on one leg. How do you get up? The easiest thing is to fall over, put your hands down and just kinda get up. A slightly harder way is to throw your arms up in the air to get upward momentun. The hardest way is to tighten your butt and push up through your leg and butt muscles leaving your arms quietly beside your body. Since I have always chosen to fall down or throw my arms in the air, I don’t have very strong leg and butt muscles and this is a very hard habit to for me to acquire.

More interesting to me is how much damn time it takes to even attempt to become a recreational B tennis player. I just wanna become a better tennis player, I didn’t think I’d have to do tedious exercises and change ancient physical and mental habits. I was hoping I could be my same old self and do it. But I can’t because it’s not possible to play better tennis if you can’t play at all due to injury and you have to change your self in you want to change habits.
