Let's talk excercise.

What do you do to keep your body fit for diving?

What do you do on endurance training: running, cycling etc.

What do you do on strength training: weight lifting, climbing etc.

What else do you do that has direct benefits for your diving? (cross training)

I jog. 3 miles, 5 to 6 times a week. I have noticed that I suck a lot less air when I have cardio endurance.

Gym / rollerblading / mountainbiking 3 days minimum per week.

Actually I try to do 20 - 30 minutes of light cardio within 24 hours of going diving.

Yup.

Well.... even the very fit need to ingest muscle relaxants from time to time.

Problem with booze is that it shortens your life. Not that you necessarily die sooner but hangovers are a waste of life energy.....

The stationary bike might be ok... the seated ones especially. I have back problem every now and then, and sometimes that is the only piece of equipment I can use. At least then you are doing _something_.

Just my $0.02

A combo rowing/running/lifting.

After law school, I needed to drop about 30 pounds, I finally promised myself a new drysuit when I got that done. Since then (early September) I've dropped 10, so 20 to go.

Ridiculous what the promise of new scuba gear will accomplish.

I'm on a major health/fitness/fat loss quest right now, so I do 45-60 minutes on my eliptical 5-6x a week. .

Diver0001:

Lift weights 3x a week (mostly upper body), and do crunches for my abs and back 6x a week.

Try to fit in yoga 3x a week, though have to admit I'm only successful about 1-2x a week right now.
