I meant that I do P90X for six weeks, then two weeks INSANITY work out. Or some times traditional body building weight lifting. Soccer on weekends. I only work out three/four times a week, or else I will burn out. I burn out because I need more sleep, but with family duties its hard, furthermore P90X is an extreme work out. You also have to go your own pace. I hate it, but I love it.Gorecki;216671 wrote: Totally! The program is certain failure! It's only going to work long term for people who train like an addiction, the balanced/normal people WILL BURN OUT! I've known a few to try it and all burned out.
Me on the other hand right now, I'm being really bad, old and slow.

play lots of xbox.
it keeps your hand eye coordination up and works your hand muscles...
also keeps your reaction time up.

IDDS or better know as I Don't Do Shit, lol! I'm sure my riding would benefit a ton if I decided to workout. I guess it has something to do with working aggressively as a college athlete. I just can't do a moderate workout routine as it feels like cheating. However, something is better than nothing.

When I see posts like this I always smile.
I don't do much. The only exercise I get is when I play with my son, who is six, and my daughter who is 5 months. I might do some building around the house, new bathroom, kitchen, shelving unit in the basement or some other carpentry project. At work I try to take the stairs as much as I can and I park as far away as possible when I go somewhere. Even though I am married, I still have sex... and yes, it's with my wife
I don't ride on the street any more, so I only ride 6 to 10 days a year. That's it.
It's sad, I know. Except for the sex part

I was a football player in high school and have maintained decent fitness ever since.
Recently ive starting looking into doing these Tough Mudder 5/10k runs I have a few friends that do them and they say theyre a blast! I enjoy a physical challenge, so im looking forward to doing something other than just going to the gym and running to stay in shape

Aside from riding, which is the best training you can do... CYCLE!!! I started cycling, lifting, and doing a ton of core excercises over the winter one year & the next year I podium'd a bunch of stuff in Novice WERA --- and even though I was already a CR, my laptimes dropped SIGNIFICANTLY. Just imagine how much faster and in control you can be if you're not thinking about how much your knees are shaking. It's incredible.

All I can say is I wish I was in as good shape when I was riding as I am now. I do a mix of P90X (when I have my kids and need to stay home) and gym lifting weights with eliptical or treadmill cardio (when I don't have the kids). Did some 5K runs this year too.
I was still working my way into shape last summer when I stopped riding due to a bad crash but I was running my fastest times ever on all tracks that spring/early summer plus I could run decent A pace all session every session. No pulling in before the flag. No skipping sessions. It pays to be in shape.
If you just want to do a little, P90X plyometrics a couple of times a week would do great things for your legs and stamina.
