How're you getting in shape this summer?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Especially for the high school athletes out there, how're you guys staying fit to avoid the lazy temptations of the summer? </p>

<p>I haven't been doing any serious weight training on alternate days (just push ups, crunches, forearm and bicep curls, etc.), but I've been doing enough to stay in shape. I've also taken up running on the treadmill for 2 miles a day with medium incline six times a week. Obviously I don't feel that I'm in as good shape as I am during the school year with real after school workouts, but it feels good to know that I'm not wasting my summer getting fat.</p>

2

<p>Running. What else is there :D?</p>

3

<p>Working out. Cardio is bad for the bulk.</p>

4

<p>Went to volleyball camp. Now I'm not really doing anything, though, except reading like mad to finish summer work. Then, once that's done, I suppose I'll run a bit and try and get more practice with friends before tryouts.</p>

5

<p>Basically every evening before I go to take a shower, I turn on some fun music really loud and just dance. Now, I'm a horrible dancer but it's just so much fun! :)</p>

6

<p>Worked out from June to the end of July, put on muscle, but also some fat. Now, I'm still lifting weights and incorporated intense running (HIIT, for those who want to know) to my routine.</p>

<p>I have soccer all summer so I avoid geting out of shape.:)</p>

Pretty much this, except I'm not seriously weight training at all...</p>

<p>just simple exercising like 30 minutes~1 hr daily to stay in shape. Too lazy during summer.</p>

<p>two words....</p>

<p>Band Camp</p>

<p>Sounds lame but in 100 degree weather carrying a large(er) brass instrument can become a fairly good work out. Marching in beat, breathing in beat, playing beat. It's all fairly difficult when you've just started playing a new instrument.</p>

10

<p>I've been playing piano and typing a lot on my computer. My fingers have never been stronger.</p>

11

<p>^ LOL</p>

<p>Anyways, I have done swmming and am now doing Volleyball conditioning. That is the way to get/stay in shape. I also like running.</p>

12

<p>I haven't really. I find conventional indoor exercise excruciatingly boring, especially if it's the kind that I can't do while entertaining myself through other means.</p>

<p>Most of my exercise happens during the winter. That's the best time to go hiking/rock-climbing, and I find that those two practices suffice for maintainnig the health and strength levels which I most like. I also run occasionally then, but that too must be confined to the cooler months, as I simply lack the will to do them now. :)</p>

13

<p>Yoga. It's surprisingly good for you. </p>

<p>Other than that, I swim everyday almost a mile. I don't tend to get out of shape no matter how long I go without exercising.</p>

14

<p>I am allergic to Yoga.</p>

15

<p>I hate yoga. </p>

<p>"Breathe into your body" WHERE ELSE AM I SUPPOSE TO BREATHE INTO?!</p>

16

<p>^ Um, I could give you an answer, but it would be quite naughty. Anyways, I am assuming you got in shape by carrying instruments?</p>

17

<p>Try doing yoga without the tapes. It is amazingly good for you.</p>

18

<p>Run every day.</p>

19

<p>run..i rode my bike today..that was fun. jump rope, dance..i usually play volleyball for my highschool team which keeps me in good shape, but i graduated..so now what??? i miss volleyball so much! i'll probably join the volleyball club when i get to college.</p>

20

<p>Lol @ yoga...now romanigypsyeyes I just know that has to correlate with the plums...</p>

<p>and tubachick, even a more lol @ band camp.</p>

<p>And I'm surprised at the number of people that run; I've never seen so many people who run...no wonders why I'm fairly slow (8:45 mile rising soph yes screw me...if i try i cant get past 7:55ish LOL)</p>
