We're all a little different. Some people respond well to strength building exercises and such... others not so much. You know if you need more (or less) than most.

For me a few calisthenics and some reps with a routine of various exercises using a couple of 25 pound dumbbells make a huge difference. In only about 20 minutes a day. In the off-season I usually workout first thing in the morning, then a 3K walk-run if it's not too icy/cold, then breakfast.
