OK, of a pro cyclist, but intriguing nonetheless. (For those of you who don't know, Chris Horner is the best domestic-based US cyclist, and probably one of the three or four best US cyclists racing today.)
From Cyclingnews.com:
CN: What does your training consist of?
CO: It's pretty simple. I can prepare for specific races to a degree, but in general when I want my form to be really good, you just have to put aside all the other duties at your home. You know, you can't be out washing your car and mowing the lawn and cleaning the deck and all that kind of stuff. You got to be training hard every day, coming back and the best tool for recovery is the couch. You just put yourself on the couch and start recovering for the next day so you can turn around and do it again. Most of my training just consists of doing five, six hour days consecutively until I feel like I'm getting tired, back it off a little bit and then as soon as I feel good again, I bring it back on.

So laying around on the couch watching TV can be viewed as part of my training.. cool.
