Badminton fever

Yup, i've caught the badminton bug. Actually, have been playing for about a year now with some co-workers. We play 2x a week, for 2 hours each. Actually if we weren't busy on the weekends, we'll also play then. Aside from the additional playing days, we're also seriously considering getting formal instruction from a badminton instructor, one who was on the national team, no less!

I can't really say that i've lost weight (or inches, for that matter), but i still do it for the exercise. It's actually quite tiring, but i've got to admit, it's quite fun! Especially competing with other players.

As for the gear, had to invest in a good racquet. Non-marking shoes are next on my list, though they can wait. Non-essential items, but which will nonetheless help to achieve that serious "badminton player - look" are shirts, shorts, jogging pants, skorts, socks, headbands, kneepads, and so on... And they don't come cheap, mind you! Which gives me an idea... :)
