I woke up earlier and managed to do some flexion exercises before the day took over.
Kids to school, then an Uber to a meeting. After that, straight back home and into work mode. Deep focus, high productivity, no space for exercise and barely time for anything else.
At 15:30, Cleyber arrived. We extended the session today and stayed together for almost an hour and a half. It was a long one.
We did a lot of leg work. Squats, glutes, calves. Real loading. Then he introduced tennis racket swings. That small detail changed everything. It made me feel better, like I was getting closer to my real target, coming back to the court.
After that, massage again. Flexion, flexion, more flexion.
152 degrees.
Seeing that number rise makes a difference. It brings motivation back. It makes the effort feel worth it.
Back home, more work, then dinner with the little ones. A lot of laughs. Celebrating every small success, theirs and mine.
That felt right.
