3 Benefits of Living Close to Boulder’s Diagonal Highway

By Leave a Comment

Living along the Front Range in our Boulder apartments near the Diagonal comes with a great many benefits. From the view to the proximity to ski resorts and outdoor recreation, the list goes on for miles. Here are just three of our favorite reasons for making the area our home: Downtown Boulder - It's just a short drive away from here, and there is always something going on. From wine tastings to special events on Pearl Street Mall, you'd be hard pressed to find a day when there isn't something exciting to see and do in Downtown Boulder. Longmont - One of the Front Range's quietest little communities, Longmont has long attracted folks who like the relaxed lifestyle our city provides while still having easy access to Ft. Collins, Boulder, and Denver. Plus, with a number of new shops and breweries in the area, there's always something new to discover. Great Companies - From IBM to Western Digital, the area is a technological powerhouse always in need of talent and new people to drive innovation.

Tennis is a great way to relieve tension and work out your various muscle groups at the same time. Of course, it helps to practice a lot, and fortunately, our apartments in Gunbarrel with tennis courts provide ample opportunities for you to pick up a game or two. When you are out there on the courts, be sure to try the following tips to improve your serve:
  • Practice your toss. You want to make sure the toss is consistent.
  • Serve with an upward motion. You want to make sure that your left arm is completely extended and bring your wrist down when your racquet makes contact with the ball.
  • Get used to "The Trophy Position". This is the correct stance for you to take and will make a big difference in both your accuracy and the power of your serves.
The bottom line is that you want to take your time and practice so that you pick up the correct form that you can consistently repeat each time.
