the gym is my second home when I'm not playing ball. I played baseball all my life, through HS and at the collegiate level so keeping in shape was always a must. I coached for a couple years and had small routines for my team to do post-practices and I would always join in for the fun of it. Now that I'm not playing hardball or coaching, I play competitive softball 7 nights a week in the spring/summer/fall and play anywhere from 7 games to upwards of 20 in a weeks time (depending on whether there are tournaments or not that weekend. most games played in a day was 10)...
so I get plenty of cardio in, but I still manage to hit the weights 3-4x per week. Focusing on never lifting more than my body weight (whether it be calisthenics routines like pull ups/push ups, or weighted exercises like squats) to maintain strength at a decent size and not allow for bulk to get in the way of proper (swing/throwing) mechanics
