Besides lifting, what do you do to stay in shape?

**I Are Baboon** · 06-25-2003, 08:35 AM

Just wondering what activities you all do besides weight lifting and basic cardio.

Most people here know I'm an avid cyclist, but I also ski and occasionally play golf (I walk the course and carry my clubs). They are fun activities, but I also keep in the front of my mind the fact that it's a workout. That helps motivate me and push myself harder.

In the winter months, I spend most of my time in the pool hall. During the summer months, playing outside with my daughter take up the majority of the daylight. I'm too late this year, but next year I'm going to join an 'Ultimate' league (frisbee football)!! We saw some teams playing at the park a couple of weeks ago and it seems like a great way to pass the summer week nights. Anyone else ever play Ultimate?

Started getting into Mt. Biking last summer and have continued and I'm loving it.

I'm also a swimmer. I use to compete when I was younger, now I swim for fun and exercise. I also love hiking during the warmer months.

In the winter I sit on my ass

I used to inline skate, now just the job ( fitter/welder ), and doing yard work, house improvements.

Yeah....I used to do that for extra cardio too..I miss that a lot.

Champions are made from something they have deep inside them: A desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.
