I wrestled for 12 years and worked at a gym training people during college but for as long as I can remember, I've always hated running. I agree when trying to stay in shape, it's a whole body thing inside and out, starting with the food you eat.
GM:
My running days ended a number of years ago due to constant tendon issues. I did like it in the early morning but never was able to go a huge amount of distance due to my tendons. For cardio now I will roller ski, row, and ride bicycle. I have also been lifting for close to 40 years now and never got tired of it. I am doing one of the 5 X 5 programs now, 3 times a week. I also have a short Yoga routine I use to stretch and train my balance.
Here is one you are probably aware of from your wrestling days. Bulgarian Bag. I use it twice a week with rowing. Kind of a mini X Fit work out. I will admit that I have never used anything that brings smoke so fast.
I spend about two hours a day exercising. 5 times a week and maybe 6 if I feel up to it. I have my own gear so train at home, outside. Even in the winter.
Right now I need to get outside and do some stuff.
