hill repeats. sprint up and walk down as many times as you can. fuckin kills but gets you in ski shape real quick.

my 30 minute routine has been 20 minutes on exercise bike, then calve raises as well as some minor bicep curls, then some lunges. i've been doin this 6 days a week for 2 weeks and already feel so much stronger. oh and of course don't forget the olde E after the workout for a carb load.

I run 2 miles a day 3 days a week, then its core day for thoes days (situps medicin ball workouts and swissball situps, there are tons to do for core, dont forget about your back) MWF then on the other days T,TH i do plyometics and sprints usually ill do arms one of these days. usually thursdays

1 day every 2 weeks (tuesdays) ill do a tabata Hiit its front squats all out 100% for 20 seconds then rest 10 seconds repete for 4 minutes great for indurance and for leg strength usually try to do about 15-20 reps in the 20 seconds.  the alternate week ill do 1 leg squats with one leg rased up on a workout bench 10 sets of 10 each leg with 1 minute rest, gets your hamstrings really strong.   for these pick a weight that you can do 1 set of and its kind of hard but doable no problem, by the end you'll think your squatting 1000 pounds

try exercises with more reps than weight. lunges and wall sits are great. I do lots of biking, especially hill climbs kill the quads. and if possible, sex is usually a good all body workout.

I have to do a bunch of physio since fucking up my knees. The main workouts I do at physio are lunges, leg presses, wall squats, and balance work. If you have access to a Bosu ball then they're really good for one legged balance ball-side down, moving up to one-legged squats ball side down. You can also use it to do lunges ball side up.
You want to focus on your quads, hamstrings, abductors and aductors (inner and outer thighs) and your core. get all those in shape and you'll likely never have knee problems.

Also, if you're bulking up on leg muscle make sure to stretch it out, it'll really help keep your body loose when you bail.

find someone who has p90x and get a copy of the plyometrics and core synergistics dvd's. or just get them all and do the whole thing. it's insane.

what works best for me is wall sits,  running / walking, and for core find a pull up bar and put a medicine ball between your legs, you might need some one to help (i would recomend a hot girl,) and as you do a pull up try to bring your legs you your chest, with the ball between your knees. i have a bunch more so if you need to know more email me.
