Last week was a good week! My tennis elbow is getting better and I was able to complete all of my exercise goals, except for Saturday my tennis class was canceled because of rain. This week I plan to work on my weight training. At this point, I don’t feel like I am improving. So I plan on upping my weight training to three times a week.

Last week, I had a hard time keeping up with my schedule. I did something that aggravated my tennis elbow and it wasn’t playing tennis. Lifting something heavy I think started it. After being achy all week it is starting to feel better. This week, I am planning to add a few exercises for my wrist and forearm, hopefully increasing my strength.
