I have a treadmill in my family room. I walk on it while watching television. Usually, I walk for a one-hour show while drinking a bottle of water. The time goes very quick that way and I don't even notice the walking.
Personally, keeping my legs and cardiovascular in shape in the summer makes all the difference in the fall.
Oh yeah - trying to deal with my wife's "logic" and yelling at her keeps me in shape to deal with coaches.
