A New Addiction On Action

At high school, I never get the chance to have an active life. The only thing I knew was home, my keyboard and homework. Sports? No... I rather cheer than compete. In fact, I cheered on my college days and fortunately it paid off. I get the chance to be part of the second batch of XU Nursing Pythons 5 years ago. I love cheering so much. I know it's weird for a guy who prefers to cheer and it makes me sound queer. Hehe. I was heart-broken at that time so please give me the chance to share my coping strategy but I won't be talking about that this time. Maybe sometime in the future I might but I want to tell you this... I don't want to cheer again. :D Right now, I am so addicted with badminton! It's a fad here but it's the speed the form I like the most. The sound, the crack of the bird once it hit the strings of the racket are like sounds of synthesized brass of DJ Benny Benassi's music. As you strike the bird it simultaneously join the filling of your heart chambers.
I never had a major preparation for this sport but I've been working out in the gym for a year now. I guess I'm physically fit for it. A few months ago, I accompanied a friend to a specialist at a local rehab center. He complained about a sensation he felt on his shoulder during and after playing badminton. He was quiet scared that it might be an impending major disability that will hamper him to play the sport in the future. I told him its precocious to conclude that. The specialist, Dr. Pagdilao of Capitol University Medical City (CUMC) in particular said, "You don't get to play badminton to stay fit but you have to be fit to play badminton." These words were philosophical to me. I mean, a lot of us venture to sports to have that perfectly-shaped bodies of models and athletes but it's the other way around. Playing a sport entails a lot of preparation which does not only include the strenuous endurance training but also your expensive sporting goods. A little financial preparation is essential. Now, going back to my friend he was diagnosed with muscle microfibrillary tear or simply a muscle strain on the minute muscle fibers of his shoulders. He was given some pills to kill the pain but eventually never took them. He was advised to have some sessions with the PT but rather rest than spend 250 bucks.

This evening, I've been searching YouTube for badminton tutorials. Fortunately, I've found a few basic instructions made by Expert Village. You just have to type keywords like: badminton tutorials and there will be a lot of selections to choose from. Tomorrow, I will be playing with my high school friends, yes the badminton fever is contagious. I've encouraged them to play the sport they were really enthusiastic and enjoyed it so much. We are trying to improve our skills so we can bit some of my college batchmates who have just started playing the sport. I'm excited to buy a new racket and I think RSL Millenium 7 X2 series will be ok as of now. I'm not expert on rackets but you have to choose them based on the weight, the tension, and of course the skill. I'm glad that I've remodified my routines. You see, working out in the gym seems boring and a little variety will supplement your ultimate goal-to be fit and healthy.
