    most prolly rip the bong a few times then order some pizza while playing and haven't exercised in years

    I don't specifically plan to workout before/after a session, but having a routine everyday of your life helps soooooo much at the tables

    I like to get in 40 minutes of cardio and then half an hour of weights, I feel sharper when I have gotten a decent workout in before playing. You can also use the 5 minute break to get in a workout of push ups, crunches, squats, jumping rope, etc.

    im not really a 'reg' i guess but i like to go to the gym, you are out and about, you see other people with an agenda, and you get to laugh at people who have absolutely no form and dont realize they are accomplishing nothing (the same people who limp fold 8bbs)
    it really gets my head clear and me ready to play. Oh and bananas, peeling some bananas def good exercise
