Variety and cross-training is the key.
I'm off to a invitation only Christmas Eve workout at the YMCA (well, they only have room for 12 participants and 1 instructor so I guess its whoever they can Shanghai into the gym the day before Christmas! LOL)...
From what I've learned from reading and talking to my instructors and other Y members the most important rule to off-season training is...
Variety...
Keep your workouts changing and engage in a number of activities. Cross-training will help prevent injuries, keep your exercise programs interesting and challenging, and stimulate your mental processes...
So good luck to you guys, Merry Christmas, and look forward to interesting posts here during the off-season.
