Scbasshunter Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 As I finished up my run around the neighborhood, I started to think about how my regular fitness routine will also come in handy during hunting season. Whether it be something as simple as walking to your stand or something as strenuous as possibly having to hold your bow at full draw a little longer than you expected or even dragging a deer out to the nearest road, I think it helps in the long run to keep yourself physically fit. Not to mention having the stamina to stay in the stand longer and be more alert. My routine is weights 3 times a week and running any where from 1.5 miles to 2.5 miles at least twice a week.

MUDRUNNER Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 I lift three or four days a week. Right now my routines are a little short since I'm trying to get the basement finished before the new baby gets here. I never was much of a runner, but always try to take the kids to the ball field or soccer field and practice once or twice a week, so I do get some running in then.

I laid off a workout plan for about 3 months trying to crash course my CPA studying, but this is my third week back to working out. Currently doing 4 insanity month 1 workouts a week and 2 lifting days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zizzer59 Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Fitness and hunting. That insanity is crazy! I'm about to start up again cuz I stopped doing it a few months ago when I had to practice for an all star football game and haven't done it since.

wtnhunt Posted July 30, 2013 Report Share Posted July 30, 2013 Sure can't hurt. Back problem seem to be my biggest problem these days though. Need to get back into better shape here. Walking these hills around here can get you out of breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkoholic Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Many a hunter has died trying to drag out their deer (shoveling the first snow of the year) after basically sitting on their butts the rest of the year. Life in general is a lot better when you are not struggling to catch your breath after walking a few steps. As you age it becomes so much more apparent how important staying in "shape" is. Resistance training and some cardio every week should be a common sense type of thing, but we all know there is not much common sense these days.

dbHunterNY Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I try to a little. it helps. actually you should ask Cameron Hanes what you should do or how often you should lift, run, and shoot. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
