Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Exercise during the lockdown ???

With people social distancing and most gyms shut down, what are you doing for exercise these days?

Thanks, RS

Climbin’ and hikin’.

Going to give TRX suspension a go. Used it as a part of my routine when the gym was open. Now going to rely on it for everything and see how it goes.

Amazon logistics = 8k calorie burn above MBR and about 25 miles walked weekly. Figure I’m lifting about 5k lbs a shift x 5 days a week. Will do this until other gig comes back.

Pushing iron as well as a rowing machine at home. Deadlift has stalled though, due to above. Other lifts progress.

Gonna come out of April a couple pounds lighter and a couple percent body fat lower than I did going in.

Oh, will also do a light hike with my boys daily when they’re with me. ‘Bout an hour on pretty flat terrain. More for fresh air than exercise.

Splitting and stacking wood.

I have a tread mill and weight machine in my basement. Have used them 5-6 times a week for many years, including this morning.
It never made sense to me to pay a membership, and have to drive to an exercise place to work out.
I’m out of bed, stretching, exercising and in the shower in 45 minutes.

Working

National Forest is still open. "Exercise" and gun ranges are essential.

I like to get my exercise walking to the 100 yards line to check my groups, or better yet the 200 yard line when all the pussy boomers that insist you must drive past the 100 yard line a huddled in wife's sewing rooms.

Hiking, running, carrying a pack. Pushups sit-ups.

According to one study I read, this is considered the single best exercise there is for a man.

I have a purpose built weight room here at home, and 32 acres (including 21 beehives) to take care of. Getting exercise is not a problem.

Home gym, miles of BLM and FS land to hike on every other day. We have Alexa notify us every hour to get up and stretch, swing kettlebells, air squats, crunches etc. for about 5 minutes.

I am getting in regular 30+ mile bicycle rides and doing work at the camp.

Three rounds of golf a week, walking and pushing a club cart. Whole body workout, fresh air, sun, and I get to exercise my blue vocabulary!

I watched African Queen, Maltese Falcon, and Casablanca yesterday without getting up except for pee breaks.

Accomplishment.

Ok, Boomer.

I'm opening and closing the refrigerator exclusively with my left hand and arm as physical therapy for my severely damaged left shoulder.

...reminds me...need to re-stock it with Mich Ultra.
