Back to the original topic.....I try to stay in decent shape year round. In the off season I usually get my body composition tested and use that to set some goals to keep me focused. About a month or a month and a half I lay off the weights a little and do a lot of interval running (run hard for a minute or minute and a half, then walk for the same amount of time) to get my body ready. I also make sure I do some leg exercises, usually one leg at a time to strengthen my ankles. The most important part is to make sure to stretch everything out before and after workouts. I'm fanatic about stretching even during the season. I find it helps me stay injury free and helps prevent a lot of aches and pains I get when I don't stretch.
