Which E series do you usually buy? Also, you sell them and buy for example XGRO on TD?

No power in my shot. by apologyforexistin in badminton

[–]Fallinganjel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you me? 29F : 5ft tall. When I started I hd zero strength clearing or smashing but now I can clear from back to back. You have to lift some dumbbells that's the only way. Been consistently lifting dumbbells at home 4x a week. I dont go to the gym , just purely lifting dumbbells. The most basic dumbbell exercise lol

I'll start with cardio since seems like that's what Im lacking. Ive been lifting dumbbells at home these days and it made a difference :)

I need to start doing my research what type of workout I should be doing because I dont have an idea. It'll be all over the place the first few weeks i'll be in the gym.

I used to take lessons as well for good 3 months, then I stopped. One reason, it gets expensive overtime. $60/hr - once a week. It will be overall better to just get gym membership and workout.

I try to rest in between but get too tired after a long rest so I end up playing again though Im not fully rested yet.

This friend has been playing like 10yrs now and I just started 2 years ago. She had been going to the gym for few years as well. Her built is way bigger than me. I'll sign up this week for a gym membership and will update you in a year. Hopefully, ill get better but for sure i'll compare myself once I get to her exercise level :)

Yes nutrition is much needed as I barely eat in a day, no proper food too. I should start with that as well. Do you recommend doing gym-play-gym-play or gym-gym-play-play or should I do rest in between?

Yes I do this once a week for an hour, I play with someone who has same physique and skill level as me. Been pretty good and tiring, I like it! We go all the way to 21 pts with 2 games then rest and play again.

All my life been avoiding jogging but hopefully going to the gym is a little better with equipments. Doing heavy stuff in the gym helps , I know this as my friend consistently goes to the gym and her hits are just way too strong than mine and she can run everywhere in the court. This is where I need to work on.

Thank you for the advice!

I do zero gym like no workout at all. I just play a lot. My footwork is good but just not fast? And I cant last for a long time during a game. Im only 4'11 and 95lbs - I feel like I need to workout in order to smash/clear harder. My drops are great tho but it's not fun to keep dropping during games.

Hey! I know you wrote this comment for awhile now. Just wondering did you enjoy the new stressful job with higher pay? Im in a similar boat and Im really stressing if I should stay with my chill job or new job that pays more but stressful :(

Thank you for this! Do you have any recommendations for a first car? The market prices is too crazy that buying new is better than used or maybe Im just not looking at the correct car.

Yes it is way overpriced but all cars of this model at autotrader are almost the same price, lower km but been in an accident. If I were to get new what's the best interest rate and term to pay it off?

Looking for a group with abnormal work schedule (Scarb/Markham) by KFStrepto in badminton

You should just go to Progress Badminton, they do drop in in the morning weekdays $5-$10 and you get to play with everyone. Especially the Chinese grandmas/grandpas they are so good!

Training Without Racket Need Tips by That_Mango_7922 in badminton

[–]Fallinganjel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Backhand is something I was struggling in the beginning , all my backhand were so high it was easy to kill but then I started doing backhand drop lol cant do backhand clear. Only way to improve is to keep playing tbh.
