Keeping in Shape

[winter boy]

So just wondering what everyone does to keep in shape over the summer. wondering about keeping the knee strenth up. i usally work out at the gym for around 2 hours every other day. And when the water heats up a little will go water skiing.

[Barnballs]

drink Sol.

[MOHSHSIHd]

8-10 jager shots daily.....and water fall skiing

[jpcski]

Trail running. Keeps legs and lungs pumping all summer.

[altagirl]

Mountain bike 5 or 6 days a week and lift weights at the gym once or twice a week. And do some balance training and stretching for the knee here and there.

[skier666]

Running outside, or running uphill on a treadmill if in a gym....stairmaster, or trail hiking when the snow's gone.

[runethechamp]

Squats and lunges. And some running and mountain biking.

[hop]

Ultimate frisbee twice a week (which probably does more damage to my knees than a full season's worth of skiing), surfing on the weekends, mtn bike rides here and there. And lots of balance, fine muscle coordination training, and spinal compressions thanks to 5-9 hours a day five days a week on a 17' Boston Whaler.

I rub my titties twice daily. 18 times in the morning, and 18 times in the evening. Naked. Then I pour goose fat all over the kitchen floor and do spins until I get tired. About 75 spinnies. You know, around and around and around. Then I somersault all over my house. Backwards, forwards, and the loop-de-loop. It's so much fun!

Oh! And use the search function, it's tremendously useful!!

I DO THE SAME THING!!! I don't do the somersaults though...that's just plain weird.

skiing at Mammoth, and it looks like weights, cycling--maybe some races, hiking. I'm not going to run, as I think it may mess with the knees. I think when I start working out after Mammoth shuts down I will do these things just to get rid of my need for skiing.

HGH and EPO (joke)

Oh, I have found that cycling is great for over all fitness but doesn't work the best to build power for skiing or help keep the sorness away in the fall or early winter. I really thought it would be more helpful?? Thats why I'm doing more weights this year. Also I want to look cool with my shirt off this summer.

About 3000 miles of road riding, 2-3 days of week in the gym (stairmaster, weights), depending on weather. Minimal tequila consumption, as much sex as possible. I said possible.

[duph]

hiking/skiing 1-2 times per week, ice hockey twice a week, softball, tennis, beer drinking, sleeping and spacing out. All of the above in the last two days. Oh yeah, that same thing benny does, "as much as possible."

I thought running would do the same thing, nope. Running/biking is great in the summer to maintain body and cardio fitness, but once October comes you really need to be on the weights. That's my plan anyway.

Thank you.

I work full time in the summer this summer I might work double full time this summer (hopefully) and hike (so much easier without skis) up mountains, mt bike, hike into fishing holes, roller ski, and rock climb


otherwise I generally go into a comotose state and get fat(ter)

Samething here??? great for cardoi...

[Benny Profane]

oh yeah, I found that a summer or two of blading in Central Park a lot was the best ski training I ever had. Alas, I have no good places to skate these days up in the north country.

[bigtrubs]

I run 9-10 kms approx 4 times a week and mountain bike 3-4 times a week, throw in taking a road bike to work as often as possible and thats me for the summer!

[Mountain Freak]

Climb as many mountains as possible.

LOL

I hike for turns, but your program sounds like a lot of fun too!

This creates better awareness of the upper body, leading to better balance.

Best post ever against the search function. If Winterboy had searched, we would not have gotten this answer and the visual image that it has conjured.

I rest my case.

[HASKINS]

ride a bike, dont run its bad for knees.

[Endlessseason]

I'm gonna keep it simple and do what Hermann does; cycle 10 hours a day 6 days a week. Oh wait, I have bills to pay and other stuff I gotta do. Nevermind.
