Well, I know it was called for in the Photo Album thread, and probably deserves its own thread so as to not litter other threads.
In any case, physical fitness. It's important, most people try to practice some habits whether it be eating right, exercising, weight lifting, and many of the other various parts of it. There are so many variants to it that I would have thought the thread already existed but alas, it did not.
To kind of kick things off I would like to just continue on the things that were being talked about in the Photo Album thread in that weightlifting for tone should revolve around more reps at a lighter weight.
Also I want to kind of detail a plan that I am coming up with for myself to stay in shape for my off season and build some muscle and get back into a good beach shape as well, haha.
I am going to be, first of all, getting some on ice work done as far as playing with the guys from my hockey team and also working off ice with things like tennis. Ideally I am going to try to get onto the tennis court twice a week or so, weather permitting, and on ice at least one a week. Meanwhile I am going to attempt to hit the gym and weights every other day. A few of the things I will be doing will be obviously the core body bench and leg work as well as bicep/tricep/lats etc. One of the main things I want to work on though is abs in an attempt to beach up for the summer!
Anyways, enough about that. Thoughts, comments, suggestions, routines and ideas are welcome here and hopefully we can get some good discussion maybe even on the nutrition aspect!
