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

Loaded up the pack with 50 lbs and took a walk today.

a very 4-ish miles and ~ 1500' of gain w/ my wife, brother, sister-in-law and Tiny E; afterwards spent the afternoon soaking in the local hot springs- don't too shabby

Ive been walking three flights of stairs at work for an hour every day and doing muay Thai /jiujitsu class three times a week st 2/hrs a class. I need to start running some too. Training at low altitude in small town makes getting ready for altitude challenging.

congrats

5 miles 2000 ft elevation 55 lb pack 5500 feet

100 push ups at end

finally got to do the Laredo workout

for time, 6 rounds

24 air squats
24 pushups
24 walking lunges
400 m run

24:52, had to back off the pace of the 1/4 mile run the last three rounds- a toughie to be sure!

Lunges AND squats AND running...definitely not exercises I'd choose.

If I'm feeling my oats I may try to give it a go on Wednesday.

Went hiking with my son-in-law on Saturday. Over 8 miles with 2900 vertical and a fair amount off trail, the dog was dog tired by the end.

Found parts of a skeleton on a steep rock slope.

Hey, that's a pretty nice buck!

Today was the first Mountain Bike ride of the year. Have been doing a fair bit of road bike rides - but - Mountain Biking is so much more fun to me!

And it's out in the same hills where I hunt in the fall. So... It's good stuff. Only 9.2 miles and a 1700+ ft elevation gain, but it was enough for today.

You did that on purpose??

not the sharpest tool in the shed am I? of course stormador said he may try it

yeah that is a nice looking buck!

24oz curls today. Gotta burn it to earn it...

4 miles on the trails with my brother, grandson and Tiny E

You look too young to have a grandson that can go 4 miles on trail.

well thank you kind Sir I am an old geezer though!

my brother bailed on me and instead went shopping with the gals :o; Tiny Elvis and I did our hill workout 5 miles with ~ 2000' of gain

mtwarden what kind of dog is tinyE? For sure he's in great shape!

he's half Chihuahua and half Yorkshire, he was really tiny when we got him, but at two years he's between 13 and 14 lbs, which is on the large end of those breeds- he's definitely in good shape

Tiny E is a tough mama-jamma!!!!

This morning my elliptical had a motor error that won't clear after restarting it several times I don't know how many miles that things got on it but it's a lot so I can't complain.....and even though I hate the thing...I'm going to be really sad if it's down for the count.

Just shy of 12 miles on the mountain bike this morning. Some fun trail riding through decent mule deer habitat!

Only gained about 875' but some of it was mighty steep. Hard work going up. Near panic on the downhill return!
