Do you guys mix it up?

[frei88]

Any of you guys that lift do you mix it up with your training and play other sports throughout the week? For example I decided to play racquet ball with a work buddy once a week to just get outside of the gym. Anybody else do this aswell?

i highly recommend doing this for sure

you will find out your body is conditioned for just the gym and when you do other active things you don't get the effects you expect.

i play tennis, bicycle, fishing, kayak, jog, hike, etc etc.

Not as such. But I try to get out, if I'm not busy fixing stuff, hill walking 2x a week

For sure I love swimming and boxing so I try to get a couple sessions in a week just to mix things up!

Absolutely this is a great idea. Not only is it good for your body/health, but it is good for your mind. It keeps things fun and interesting.

I recently started swimming for my cardio. Traditional cardio gets boring really fast.

Most universities have swimming pools you can use for really cheap. Give it a try. It's a great full body workout...and you get to see a bunch of cute university girls in bikinis
