Tennis

I don't find working out in a gym nearly as enjoyable as Carla does.  Therefore, in order to keep myself fit, I am trying to integrate more fun activities in my workout regimen.  This is why I had started ninjutsu a few weeks ago.

Another activity that I have taken up is tennis.  I noticed a tennis court near my work, and quickly discovered that I can book it for free (there are a lot of tennis courts around the city, but most of them charge $20 per hour).

Next step was to find a willing tennis partner.  I enquired with my colleagues at work, and two of them expressed interested in playing.  Not letting the iron go cold, I booked the courts and invited both my colleagues to come and join me.  I did not know how reliable they are for turning up to an early morning sports appointment, but was pleasantly surprised the next morning with their attendance.

We started playing tennis as a group at work about a month ago.  I book the court and let the guys know when the game is on, and they keep showing up.  It's a great setup.  Actually, it is going so well, that another one of the colleagues wants to join us.  As long as the number of players is divisible by four.  :-)

Sydney weather is perfect for outdoor sports.  You can play tennis all year long.  The same applies to golf, biking, roller blading, etc.  You really can be active all year long.  I think I could get used to this!
