I am a member at our local YMCA and use its facilities to stay in shape (or actually get in shape) during the offseason. I hit the weightroom 3 days a week, and use the tread mill or stair climber alternate days. I also attend the "Fit for Life" (should be called "Fit for Death") class 3 days a week. I find I am capable of handling an FB season pretty well following this regimen.
The class uses running, stretching, stepping, sprints (suicides...) etc and really gets you moving. Not only does it keep in shape for FB, I can keep up with my 6, 4, and 2 year old kids. SOmetimes that's more difficult.
