Option 2:
Of course I cross train, its the easiest way to trick yourself into doing a workout without actually have to do a workout. I really like skiing, but unfortunately that has quite the overlap with hockey season and can be quite a risk to injury, so I don't get to do that as much as I would like. Offseason summer sports are great to do as well. Some casual soccer games, keeps the cardio up and can have some fun as well. The best cross training though is golf. Pretty much any athlete will tell you that. In reality I am not really sure what it does for training, maybe swinging the club is like shooting a puck? who really cares though. Everyone who plays golf is just looking to drink a bunch of beers and drive a golf cart around for 8 hours and forget about their real life problems. I'm not sure any of this helps me be better at hockey, but life is also about have some time off.
