I stay in shape by making my lifestyle my hobbie. Going for the results is one thing, but most of us don't necessarily like doing what it takes to get the results which is why we don't stick with it and lose all that we have gained. So my hobbie is going to the gym. I look forward to it because I love going to the gym. Some guys hunt, fish, and/or golf. I workout.

Practice makes perfect. It's great cardio. Technique is everything. Only thing is warm up before, cool down after, and pace yourself. Pace yourself. Pace yourself. Pace yourself. Don't want to throw your back out.

I am an avid Paintball player and regularly head up the mountains for a few hours / days hiking

I run. Marathons and pretty soon ultramarathons. I've just got to get over the messed up ankle first.

An hour or two of class aren't enough. You don't spend nearly enough time rolling. You need to get together with a few classmates and drill moves - armbars, mount escapes, combos, whatever. Make it second nature. Train your guard by holding it from a heavy bag, and progressing to heavy bag situps. Train you grip with Gi pullups. Drill burpees until you die. Do rosstraining.com type metcon to the point that you're a machine. Keep threatening submissions, and generally tire them out. Then you can do whatever you want. You know, the point where your opponent takes a big gulp of air and then sighs, that's your cue to put it on them. Keep at it. A blue belt knows most of the moves, going purple-brown-black is only a matter of learning the chess game.
