Idk, but I'll say that everyone I see that uses it claims it has the most power, and I believe that are saying that because they were told that. I play with a 20 year old stick, and when I tried the 2022 pure drive, I couldn't hit a more powerful shot than from the stick I use.
Quick update - got the NB Coco shoes. Theyāre impressive in terms of quality. (The insole feels more like one you would purchase seperately). There was a long break in period as the mid tops rubbed the top of my feet and itās an expensive shoe but Iām really loving it now. It feels like it is going to be effective in preventing future sprains (fingers crossed). Thanks for all the help.
Lots of good advice here. One more thing: have you considered that it might be a movement issue? Is there a pattern for when it happens? Are you trying to slide on hard courts? Split step late? I can't tell, of course, but your movement is probably consistent across these injuries. It might (might!) contribute.
Iām late 40s and perhaps playing some of the best tennis of my life (former D1 full scholarship player) so Iām just grateful that my body is allowing me to still play at the high level, Iām grateful for the friendships Iāve made, living in an area that has active leagues and tournaments, that I can play with my kids and theyāre proud of me when they watch me play. Iām very competitive and get a high from the wins but I really donāt dwell on the losses too much, it is what it is, there will always be another match. (Unless itās one I had a match point, I dwell on those for eternity š). I feel lucky to have this sport to balance other parts of my life.
We actually went skiing one day but we didnāt go up to the summit on the gondola. Itāll be fun to do if you havenāt been. We stayed near the village and went hiking mostly.
I have not been able to do any tread bootcamps since Danielās departure. I just want to āsend itā again š„² Plus my preferred length is 45 mins and there are no longer any 45 min bootcamps except Adrianās Thunder 45 and Iām not a big fan of those. Just wanted to see if there are any recommendations for classes similar to Danielās where the strength moves were challenging but more straightforward and emphasis on heavy weights.
I do cycling workouts regularly. To me If I go super hard on a ride, then Iām famished and itās hard for me to control my eating. So I do more low impact/ longer rides vs. hiit type of stuff when Iām trying to lose weight. Also strength and other stuff on top of that.
I weighed myself today after a week long Thanksgiving trip. I was so sure i blew it because at one point I decided to just enjoy myself vs. worrying about the diet. My familyās love language is food and there were huge dinners, desert every night, lots of wine. I tried to offset it by eating light breakfast and lunches, going for runs and walking everywhere as much as possible, did yoga in the hotel room. I was so happy to see I have maintained my pre-trip weight. I donāt know how itās possible as I mustāve eaten 2500+ calories a day but very happy with the results.
Iām in the same boat. Have been trying for a year to lose 5 lbs. I know itās not nearly the same task as trying to lose tens or hundreds of lbs but to me itās been a frustrating struggle. I think some people who have so much more to lose maybe canāt relate to it and choose to be unhelpful. I carry all my weight In the middle so to me 5 lbs feels like a lot, plus Iāve been told belly fat can lead to health problems. So you do what you need to do. Good luck, the advice on this sub has really helped me with some tips. I have been trying to cut carbs and sugar but what actually worked has been just reducing overall calories. I also had to cut back on high intensity workouts as they make me way too hungry. Good luck.
I usually count for about a week and that basically makes me realize how much Iām eating without even thinking or calories from certain foods that are just not worth it. That mindset and habits usually lasts good few months where I donāt count. If I gain a couple lbs, Iāll then start again to get back on track.

I agree the power claim is more marketing.. I love it because it has such a huge sweet spot, it almost feels like cheating.

Some power yoga classes are not heated at Yoga Six Carlsbad. I can never figure out how to tell, I think itās based on which room itās in.

Yes it always happens during a reaching/running open stance forehand. I did grow up playing on clay so perhaps a habit of trying to slide.

Is a separate TV simply not an option?
Not a great option as our treadmill is in a spot where there are storage shelves in front of it.
The reason I ask: a touch screen on a treadmill adds a lot to the cost and introduces a failure point that is expensive to fix.
Thatās a good point about failure point
We were there last week and did not find any good spots for snow play. Most of the snow is on the trails/high elevation or icy/packed and dirty.
Thanks for the info. Did you try going up to the summit or did you stay near the lodge and lower elevation areas?

We did McGee creek and it was great.
My husband and kids went skiing yesterday and loved it. Just get out there early.
Your ring is so pretty!
Thank you, a gift from my mom
Ooooh love the finish on these, pretty!
Thank you š

Puesto short rib tacos and margarita is my reco. Cardiff crack nachos are good also but the tacos are life changing.
Hi
Very helpful, thank you

This is true.. my son whoās allergic to hazelnuts can eat Nutella. I think thereās very little amount.

Potatoes. They donāt deserve to be demonized the way they are.
Totally agree. My grandparents ate a boiled potato with every meal and lived into high 90s
Like, 3 a day?
Well, not for breakfast but for lunch and dinner
