I find that I get the best all round workouts from the following:

-netball
-cardio/weights gym circuits
-swimming

I like to mix it up with working out though, so what else gives you massive bang for your buck?

    yeah i make the girls do those at practice (i'm a coach) and anything they do i make myself do. Great coaching strategy - the kids will do anything if the teacher is willing to do it too. But my god do I hate those things. :laugh:

    As an ex-kid with a strong equality rhetoric, THANK YOU! Nothing worse than being told to run around a massive field in winter whilst the teacher hugs a mug of coffee.


    Also, rowing. I'd swim but I don't have access to a pool.

    haha thanks. I decided when I became a coach that i'd participant coach. The girls are required to train at least as hard as I do, and to play against me. It definitely means that I have a team of girls who respect my rules, follow my lead, and so far I have an unbeaten record for winning grade level champs :)

    Personally I find Judo works for me, although i have to follow an all around training plan to help me cope with it being an all over exercise (Chicken & Egg, comes to mind).

    Other than that swimming and boxing i have found works.

    Rowing - I thought I was quite fit until I took up rowing and then realised I KNEW NOTHING! I think technique is key to get the most out of it, if you have good technique, and erg properly, a 2K test kills, doing a 30 minute piece takes some serious strength - I found my core quickly tightening up and felt like a machine with regular rowing.

    Another vote for kickboxing. My favorite exercise of everything I have tried by far.
