[quote=Anonymous]54yo postmenopausal woman here. Increasing variety helped me a lot. I used to only do (a lot) of tennis every day, but it was making me stiff and sore. Tennis elbow and plantar fasciitis were part of my everyday normal. So now, I take Tuesdays and Thursdays off. And weekends are now just 2h of doubles. On my tennis playing days, I've added 30-m walks before and after playing to warm up/cool down, plus footwork and lunge-twisting drills. I also added pilates 3x per week (using the reformer), and padel 2x per week (which I know you don't really have in DC yet, but it's fun & fast moving like tennis, but without the extreme shoulder use from the serves). And I do short hikes on my off days. And massage therapy when anything starts to feel off. So it's still a lot of exercise, but I feel a lot stronger and batter-balanced. The pilates really helps with mobility, stretching and balance. And the hiking gives my arms a rest.[/quote]
