Lifting by myself in the A.M. We try to have a staff basketball game once a week. We definitely get drunk as a staff once a week.

? working out is a lifestyle thing (just like drinking)....why would the "in season" change anything? 5am - personal workout 6am - player workout 8am - 'work' 3pm - practice 8pm - treadmill for 45 min (and let the neurons fire in the brain with all the ideas you get during practice) 1030pm - try to sleep  |

I leave the house at 6:40 A.M. and get home at about 6:40 P.M. or later. There's not much time for a workout.

I try to lift and run during the season as much as the off season, but it rarely happens as frequently. This year I'll probably try to get up and do most of it during the morning before school since we don't start school until 8:30 and I live less than a block away from where I'll work next year.

I've told myself the past three seasons I could do a good job of watching what I eat during the season and keep weight gain at a minimum. Umm...well, let's just say this fall (wherever I end up) I'm going to bite the bullet and work out before school.

I think what Brophy said is key......
The last thing I want during the season is something else to worry about. I don't need my hamstrings aching so bad I can't move around or my stomach grumbling so much I can't think.......
I don't like to start new things during the season.......
So to answer the question, I don't work out much anyways, so in season I work out just as often.

I tell myself every year....This season will be different I will work out during the season.....then teh week after the season ends and I get back to the gym again I say....Next season I will work out during the season for sure.......then repeat the cycle every season.
For some reason I can't jam a workout in during the season. Either I am too tiered or have too much going on. It sucks and I should make time but I figure as along as I am out coaching its better than sitting around on my butt, still not as good as a work out but better than nothing.

I tell you, nothing gives me time to just think and clear my head about problems, especially football problems, like the time I use running or lifting. My biggest issue this year was that I worked 1 hour away from where I live and our coach liked to practice until 7:30 each night. That made it tough to work out.

Run and lift in the off season. Then take a break durring the regular season.
Got to work out in the off season just to be prepared for all the crap you eat coming home from the away games! Coaches eat for free at most fast food places, so what are ya gonna do?? ;D

Working out isn't really my problem during the season it's my diet. Being single and having very little extra time to cook I eat a lot more fast food during the season then work my butt of all spring and summer to slim down a bit and repeat the cycle.
This year will be different! I promise ;D

I'm 49 and about 3 months ago I stopped lifting for the first time since college. I had been lifting and biking for years and just felt it was time for a change so I've gone back to running. I'm back up to 5 miles and feeling much better. Yes, I work out.

Airman, that is such an obvious idea I feel like a fool for not doing it already.

Airman, that is such an obvious idea I feel like a fool for not doing it already. do not feel bad. I got it from a college coach who had a treadmill and eliptical in the film room. it was part of his contract when they hired him. he just takes a clipboard and makes note, grades his players while running or walking if he has to on the tredmill. i understand the head coach of the kc chiefs does some thing along the same lines. |

I must be just the opposite of everyone else. I find I have more time during the season than the off-season to work out and stay in shape. Practice usually keeps me in good shape and I try to lift and watch something football at least 30 minutes 2x per week. When I eat it's usually decent food except for Friday nights. Don't forget the worry diet to lose a few.
The off-season is when pounds begin to jump on me since I leave the weight room around 5 to pick up one of the kids take them to a practice or game, stopping to get fast food along the way.
I tell people there are 2 seasons in my life, football season and fat season.

I lift and run year round. I have found I concentrate better after I workout. I like the idea about the treadmill and film deal. Also, a big weight lifter so I try to get 5-6 cardio days and 3-4 lifting days.

If I don't get at least 4 hour long workouts (weights and cardio) in a week, I don't handle stress very well.
There's 168 hours in a week, I better be able to allot at least 4 of them to working out.
Plus, I don't eat as well when I'm not working out; old eating habits die hard. If I'm hitting the gym hard, I need to take in good nutritious food, or I over train and feel like crap.

Honestly, even when coaching at the HS level with rowdy staffs, I don't drink much during the season. There's just too much going on for me during the season and I don't need the added stress of being tired or hung-over. I'll go out with the guys for an hour, have a beer (sometimes a diet soda) and then head home.

I have a zero hour class... so I get in before them and do my workout... Some days I get a good 45-60 min. workout... some days 15-20 min... but I don't miss days, unless something pretty big comes up.

I can relate with most of the things that people have said so far in this post. In the off-season I drink more and work out for the sake of working out. During the season, I tend to eat quick food, drink less and run because it gives me an excuse to get away from the cell phone and email and think through all of the things that are going on.
A couple of years ago I was coaching college, and a couple of the coaches made a point of going for a run before practice. It was really nice to get away from the office and catch up on what was going on in each others lives instead of just talking football straight through the day. I wish it would be possible to do something like that now, but it just doesn't fit in with a full teaching load.

Here's a random, dumb question.
How much weight do you guys put up on various lifts?
I know airman's a strong dude, how about the rest of you.
This'll probably get locked, LOL.

This'll probably get locked, LOL. airman was a strong dude about 3 years ago. but airman also nolonger is 5-9 240 obs he is 5-9 and 170. I gave up most of my weightlifting to train myself down when my doctor told me have lipid count was 227, it is not 150 through diet and areobic exercise and just a little lifting. |

I actually put up my highest bench press max about a year and half after I was done playing--355. Of course, I weighed right at 300 so that may not be very impressive. I've made running/conditioning my priority now--I've gone from a high weight of 315 to my current weight of 275.
