Work out until you puke !

I don't recommend this ! However, I worked out so hard tonite that I puked. I think it was a combination of working out so hard and having eaten dinner so late before tennis lessons. I need to not eat 2 hours before a workout, especially a tough workout. I was so hungry tonite, but we ate dinner at 6pm instead of 5pm because the baby took a late nap and I joined him !

Some Tennis Tips from our instructor:
1) Keep your eye on the Ball !
An amazing amount of people don't keep their eye on the ball as long as they can.

2) Follow Through on your Swing.
I so don't do this. I stop swinging shortly after making contact with the ball, I sure don't follow through all the way over my shoulder.

Tennis Tips from me:
1) Don't power slam the ball into your partner all the time, a really bad habit I have because I am always playing people much better than me and this a technique I have apparently developed because it makes it harder for them to return the ball slammed right at them.

2) Control the ball. We practice on half of the court with our partner. At first, I was bummed and now I can see that I am worn out playing half court, imagine if I played full court. If I can't control the ball on the half court, how am I going to control it on the full court ?
