Default How much do you guys work out a week?

Just wondering what you guys do a week working out since usually the bowhunters stay in slightly better shape. I try for an hour a day 5 days of the week.

I run and shoot as regularly as I can, but thats about it. I'm fit enough to do the things I enjoy without a problem, so I really never got into working out.

I try to shoot at least one arrow daily, sometimes dozens.

I work chest/tri's on Monday/Thurs and back/bi's on Tues/Fri.

to keep my arms steady i shoot regularly, keep working out 3-4 times a week running, also do workouts designed to target the arm muscles for shooting a bow. my max range is (6-8 inch groups at 70 yards) depending on how many rounds i have shot.

I'm on the treadmill 5 days a week, now. Lift 2-3 of those days (when I accompany Lisa to the gym). I run in the mornings.

Cardio6 days a week now. Every other day Light weights with high reps (Full Body workout) the first week then Rubber Band workout the 2nd week and alternate between the 2 every week.
I will do this for the next 6 weeks then will adjust, what that is not sure at this time.

I don't regularly work out. I work in new home construction. That is my work out.. and it beats me everyday.

And on weekends I walk miles looking for sheds.
