Charlotte and I are at it again ~ Tennis Tuesday is back in action for 2012. Except we’re doing it on Wednesdays this year, which makes it Wennis Wednesday.
We’re not competitive ~ we don’t play actual games or keep score in any way. We just volley the ball back and forth over the net. I know you’re thinking what’s the point? Why play a game if you aren’t going to keep score? I’ll tell you why. Because moving is good for us. We do plenty of that, even if it’s just to fetch the balls we were too decrepit lazy to return during the volley.
Another point of our trotting off to the courts once a week is to get in a little gab. OK, a lot of gab. Wennis Wednesday is about being social as well as being fit.
I’m certainly not one who exercises for the high, but the endorphins I felt after our tennis session were astonishing. It made me glad we could begin our weekly tennis/social hour a little early this year, allowing more weeks in the season for us to chat and get high (on endorphins) together. Apparently this kind of session is better for your body than chatting and getting high over cocktails.
So, yay for me and Charlotte! What are you doing to get your body moving?

Sounds like great fun! Planning something with a friend cuts way back on the I’m-just-too-beat-to-do-it-today factor. At this time, it’s my dogs that keep me moving, getting me out for about a half-hour brisk walk each morning and evening. I have other things planned, but I’m just too beat to do it most days. Thanks for an inspiring post!
A brisk walk twice a day with the dogs is great exercise! Keep it up and you’ll live forever!
