Today I played tennis for the first time with Naomi. We signed up for tennis ASA together. I had always wanted to try tennis, but I never had the chance or the courage to do it on my own. We went to Bear Mountain to play tennis. I imagined I would pick up tennis pretty fast and start doing rallies, but it was harder than I expected. We first had to do a basic warm up and practice before actually doing rallies. It was quite hard to hit the ball properly, because it was way different from badminton. I had a hard time finding the right posture to hit the ball. You really have to bend down to hit it correctly. I missed the ball a few times at the beginning. After we practiced, we had a chance to do rallies. We had a really good rally before the class ended. It was more tiring than I thought and required more arm strength than I expected. I think I will enjoy it better when I learn how to hit the ball properly, but for now, I like it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
