Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting 2019 Fitness-Workout thread

a glorious day today- got into the low teens, but felt like 50's!

8 miles of snowshoeing w/ a bunch of climbing for good measure w/ my glad to get out of the house partner- Tiny Elvis

After hiking out with my tree stand, backpack and a crossbow late last season, I realized how much more I need to have in the tank to do this frequently and successfully. I started on a 3 day weekly workouts and I think Its paying off. I also try to do am pre work 45 min mostly mix of compound lifts and bodyweight excersizes , core too

welcome aboard!

Getting ready for the hyner trail challenge PA in April.

I've put some miles in on the Rachel Carson trail in years past as well.

Have thought about doing their race but haven't yet

Best of luck with the Hyner. I hear it will test you.

Assault treadmill: 30minutes
Stairmaster: 45minutes
Light weight circuit

Upper body pull, lower body push with abs thrown in today. About to adjourn for some 12-oz curls.

Multiple 12 Oz's and probably some melt your liver Scotch chasers. Some here are gym rats, you are a gym beast!!!! You have to be on the roids.

No roids here, I use Preparation H.

Go lighter on the squats until you get that taken care of. One busts under load and it is going to make an embarrassing mess. Probably most likely to happen on push day.

4 miles snowshoeing with Tiny E- slowly starting to warm up here- got into the low 20's

Cardio for me today, 30 minutes of intervals on the stair machine, then 30 on the bike.

Got fired up thinking of all the snow on Bachelor (awesome spring skiing); did a bunch of core, quad, and hammie stuff, squats, and deep stretches, as well as some push-ups.

Supposed to go get that mountain bike Monday so that should get revved up here soon as well. And spring firewood season is right around the corner too.

I've done it twice before. Since the first time it causes nightmares as the date gets closer.

Can't wait.

a 10 mile run/snowshoe- probably close to half and half, ran with spikes when there was enough packed snow, snowshoes when there wasn't; sadly Tiny E is on injured reserve status- hurt something on yesterday's outing, hoping just a mild strain- seems good today, but want to give it a little time

5-mile walk in the flats.

^^^DOUCHE BAG^^^

2 girls at work and myself are in. One of us needs to work on our glutes.

No, one of them needs to work on your glutes. Do I hafta explain everything?

good deal; let the training begin in earnest!
