I would get so sick of hauling those ho's around on my back all the time. Seesh.
Excercise? How bout a basement remodel and a new french drain system? I've dug and hauled about 50CUYDs of dirt, drainage rock and gravel in the last 3 weeks. Still plenty to do and free memberships available.
Just be acreful, the next time you grab a bar, you might snap it in half like a twig!
Hurrrrrrrrrgh!

With many limbs of yoga and assorted styles of asana practice I feel it is the key to healthy kiting for many years as well as the ultimate form of injury rehab.
Add any form of cardio, some split boarding, snowshoeing and rock climbing to the mix with some good deep tissue massage.
Last but not least throw in some exotic travels to warmer climes n you will be assured health is your wealth. Also not hard to do it on the econo as have slept on tarp on a pile of tempurpedic seaweed living primarily on coconut water and kiting almost everyday for 3 weeks on an outer Bahama island.
*Nice to see Sir Richard spending his time and energy wisely.

Like others have said, do lots of core stuff. Skiing or boarding in the winter on snow also help.
One thing that will help your legs, arms, core, and upper body muscles is standing on one of those air filled half domes/bubbles (they are about 20'' in diameter), taking some dumbbells and doing arm lifts. Start with dumbbells at your side and raise you arms out and up to shoulder height with your arms extended out straight. Do 3 sets of 20 reps 3 times per week.

That unit is so yesterday; Holly I heard your mom uses the new white, "voice assist" model. . . and of course your so fit and seasoned that your up to the "Big Jim" model now
I decided to learn how to drop in the bowl at our local indoor skateboard park, and definitely took my lumps but it has definitely helped me keep in shape, and it keeps your balance dead-on...you can't cheat like you can on the water with a hand rail. _________________ "USE THE FORCE"

I've been using this suspension strap system for 4 years. It's perfect for kiting cross training:
