sand 17 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 after 10 years of a pretty sedentry life style got back into it last year. Been exercising consistantly for the last 5 months. Cycle about an hour to an hour and a half 4 times a week, also got into weight training 4 times a week, which I have found really addictive. Got to a point where I now am doing sets of 160 Kg single leg 45 degree leg press. Also doing core exercises on swiss ball. Looking forward to this season, and also continuing to strengthen both cardio fitness and muscle strenght. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Climbed and skied up on Iwaonupuri last Saturday with some friends. An onsen and some beer afterwards. That's my kind of pre season exercise Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Cool. I had a big meal last night, I was stuffed. Lots of spoon and chopsticks actions though, so I'm sure it leveled out and I'm fitter this morning. Link to post Share on other sites
fat lump 0 Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 OK well I have been doing a bit of half-hearted jogging. But it ain't much fun is it. I'm just going to have fun sliding down slopes I think. If and when it snows. Link to post Share on other sites

seemore 66 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Running, swimming and cycling. And a little bit of weights and yoga. Daughter has started swimming every morning for a few hours so might as well do something as well. Seemore Link to post Share on other sites
Tex 3 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I have been TRYING to run a few times a week, squats push-ups and sit-ups as well when I do. Ran today and did some stair work at the local set of cliffs in Brisbane City - that got the thighs burning. Might have to do some more of that over the coming weeks I think. Frankly I hate exercise but the endorphins after and the feeling of having 'done something' JUST make it all worthwhile.... JUST Link to post Share on other sites

JUST Pretty fair call I reckon! Although tonight I am not sure the endorphins cut it. I noticed that I was struggling doing my laps at the pool tonight - usually an hour is not a drama, but I was really feeling the fatigue in my arms and legs tonight...maybe 20 minutes in. Felt pretty average. Home now - going to be and taking antibiotics - my ear hurts and my throat is sore. I think I am coming down sick. Endorphins are making me feel marginally better than terrible Link to post Share on other sites
Tex 3 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 YA You need more than endorphins to overcome illness Link to post Share on other sites
Mintyjulep 0 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Hah, this is probably the right thread for me. I have 14 days to get ski fit. Doom doom doomie doom. I hate exercise, but I've been so tired lately and my blood pressure/heart rate have felt off since the wedding so it is definitely time to hop on that bike. Maybe some walks up the port hills too?

ILoveZao 8 Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I like to leave most of my exercise to the winter - skiing and moving snow. Both are good. Moving snow wouldn't be good but it means that there is fresh snow, so it is good. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdust 0 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I did some reasonable pre-season training once, mainly going to the gym for leg and cardio workout. I thought I was doing well, but then i decided to strap into my snowboard at home and do some indoor jumping about (on top of a few towels to protect the floor!). Basically balancing and bouncing on one tip of the snowboard, with the other end in the air, then popping and landing on the other and back again etc. And MAN my legs hurt the day after!! So I think you actually need to do the real thing to reach those muscles you simply don't use otherwise. Or, I suck at gym training, which is very plausible... But it was quite fun, and really good balance training. And probably a great way to wear out the pop in your snowboard too Another exercise that's supposed to be good, but which I haven't tried yet, is to try and balance on a plank of wood placed across a small barrel of some sort. You'll be continuously shifting your weight to maintain balance. And probably fall over, heaps. Hmm, what else? Oh yeah, balancing on a tennis ball with one foot! But that's a little lame But I do like my exercises to include a good deal of balance training as well as strength! Mainly because I like the odd jibbing about in the piste when there's no good powder runs to be had. Link to post Share on other sites
