I did break dancing back then Thanks for the advice! im doing my warm up and stretching routines as you advised. As for skipping, from 0 im now doing 5reps of 50skips everyday! indeed i can feel and see that im improving!
Thanks ixoye! Indeed its difficult and rather ambitious goal, but then im up to the task until i reach my first and second goals... As for the training, im seriously considering that. And thanks for the help, unfortunately im based here in iloilo city.
keep it fun To be a better player you must need "the" fun. I can see that you have fun in badminton so keep that. To make your game more fun try some trickshots. Watch on youtube to find some trickshots and try it out. This will improve your handling with your rackets so you can control your shots better. And believe me the first 1000 times (at least)it will fail, but once succeeded, let them roll!! Have fun.
indeed im having fun! i was thinking of doing trick shots but then as per advised here i should first learn the basics before doing trick shots... but i will follow your advise after i master the basics...
Shalom! Just would like to thank you all here in BC for the help and encouragement in achieving my goals! Im proud to report to you that within the first month that i played badminton 2-3 times per week for 2-3hrs, i have already lost 5kgs i can now wear shirts and jeans that i cant wear before! i feel lighter and active all day! Because of these, some of my friends would also join me in playing badminton in order to loose weight! So thanks again to you guys!
crap, i must be doing it wrong... I'm gaining weight playing badminton XD Well anyways, i've been playing badminton since ~2002. One thing i can say is really, just play. you can watch footwork videos, stroke videos etc all day long. But if you're not out there playing, you aren't getting any better.
