This has been a big issue for me lately. If you have a day where you can't skate or you just want to get in better shape what do you do?
For me it's lifting weights and running. I ran Cross Country in high school and I just got myself back into the practice routine I would use for that sport.

Re: Things you do to stay in shape other than skate
I nordic ski for my school, and training for that is year round. We have really regimented training plans throughout the year, so I'm fit constantly. I also run to keep in shape, but i dont like to do it. I really only enjoy long trail runs, we go out for 2+ hours in the woods and just get lost...
Nordic skiing all winter is not only great exercise, but it's a whole lot of fun. Probably my favorite thing to do other that skating...
Re: Things you do to stay in shape other than skate

Re: Things you do to stay in shape other than skate
Wakeboard, Snowboard, Play Basketball/Football/Ultimate Frizzlebee, The drunken walks from dorm to party/dorm always turn into a rough game of tag, I climb every day. Holy hell, I'm getting tired just thinking about it now... I had no idea I did so much ####, I always thought I was pretty lazy
Re: Things you do to stay in shape other than skate
i play soccer. lift weights ( just like these little 8pd ones cuz im prety young lol ) and me and my friend are running around our neighborhood. We usually do 2 miles but the farthest weve gotten without stopping is 1.5miles. And its only our 2nd day. so thats good i guess.
Re: Things you do to stay in shape other than skate
It's really interesting to see footbag brought up in this thread because that's my main focus. I'm gonna start training for the 2009 World's Footbag Championships in Berlin soon and hoping to get past a few rounds in the routine competition!
Re: Things you do to stay in shape other than skate
I walk up hills a lot.
Used to play lots of ultimate frisbee: was the handler (frisbee equivalent to a qb) for my college team
Run.
In the winter: Ski ski ski ski ski ski
