Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Health/Fitness New Years Resolutions ???

Need to get back on my workout programs,loose about 40 pounds do this:



for Independence Day, then crush 2 "Tough Mudder"s this year. Gotta celebrate turning 44 in a couple weeks, should be a good start.

Never made resolutions. I try to live healthy year round and don’t wait till end of year to try to improve.

"The Barbell Prescription" is an excellent read and a great source of information. Highly recommended.

My resolution is to get to the gym 15 minutes earlier until March 1 when everbody with a resolution stops coming.

1. Walk everyday
2. Cut carbohydrates
3. Take my vitamins

This is really an interesting and annoying phenomenon. On the other hand, the New Years rush of first-time gym clients is probably what keeps a lot of facilities solvent.

My first triathlon of the year is January 20 - an indoor. 10 minutes swimming pool lengths, 30 minutes on a spin bike, and 20 minutes on a treadmill. It sounds easier than it is - the distances are short enough where it's tough not to slide into an all-out sprint puke fest. Also, a person doesn't want to be too wobbly starting on the treadmill and end up starring in a YouTube video.

My growler is 1 month post TKR and is already hiking 1/2 mile w/ trekking poles. I will have to tune up to stay ahead of her. We are planning on getting in an Idaho wolf hunt in February.

Good to hear - I recently purchased it and have been working through it. I have everything I need at home - squat rack/cage, bench, Olympic bar, plenty of plates, dumbells and kettlebells so have never done the gym thing until recently. Wife talked me into it as something we could do together so I've been going pretty regularly the last couple of weeks. She wanted to do the Planet Fitness thing but that pretty much limits you to machines vs. free weights, but then I have that at home. I've been kind of enjoying it - I do tend to work out more regularly than just working out at home which is a good thing.

Drink more Trooper Ale, chit on my enemies more.
