"old-school fit?" They weren't fit like that in the old school. I'm with Gypsea, I'll take the massage therapists. Just think, that girl doesn't get to each much fun food. She probably does a can of tuna with a baked potato for lunch every day. BORING.

She swims 5x a week for 2 hours, weight trains 4x a week for 60-90 minutes and does resistance stretching for 2 hours (don't know how frequently so I'll say 5x), which adds up to 26 hours a week of training

Interesting that this is just about the same amount of time everyone else spends watching TV! I'll be thinking about that next time I watch the "Biggest Loser" instead of going out for a run!

"According to the A.C. Nielsen Co., the average American watches more than 4 hours of TV each day (or 28 hours/week, or 2 months of nonstop TV-watching per year). In a 65-year life, that person will have spent 9 years glued to the tube. Compiled by TV-Free America; 1322 18th Street, NW ; Washington, DC 20036 (202) 887-4036 "

Your comment reminds me of a similar thing. Not long after Hershel Walker won the Heisman, he was interviewed, and he stated that he never lifted weights in his life (though he is well-built). I was rather amazed by his remark. He continued, saying that growing up, he watched a lot of TV, and every time a commercial came on, he got off the sofa and did push ups and sit ups until the commercials were over.

Rather than working out for 3-4 hours a day, just try to the Hershel Walker method, and you should be good to go.
