8. Mountain Biking – As you may have figured out by now, I’m not a proponent
of steady pace endurance exercise, but rather, highly variable intensity

exercise that works with bursts of exertion followed by recovery intervals.

competition between you and your friends. This is probably more of a guy

thing for most. You could even come up with your own “fight club” and have
stick wrestling competitions with your buddies to see who is toughest. There

are actually sticks designed specifically for stick wresting, but you can even
