Do some research. That was only one site.

Cardio and strength. You can't have too much of either.

Yeah, I've been doing alot of hiking up where I plan on hunting so I get some training in and some scouting done in one shot. I'm also training for a marathon and I throw some kettlebell workouts in for functional strength to help with all the heavy lifting and the like.

I am working on getting in shape for 2014 hunt. Training in central Al. Hitting the eliptical and walking up-down in a hilly area. By no means going to be ready for high altitude. Fortunately will be hunting at about 6000-7000 max. Go so much dam% weight to lose it is pitiful. Trying to work through an 45 year old knee injury from college football days (no ACL in my left knee + torn minicus repairs) and a torn achilles some 10 years back, with the other ione buldged (too dang much racquet ball). Going is tough and progress is slow. I hate to admit it, painful as heck. But I'll get to where I can and it'll be what it'll be.

I train in January-May to run the Tough Mudder in June, and then just keep up that workout through hunting season...then it's January again and start my training for another Tough Mudder. :)

I do the stair-climber & this year I added in a rowing machine. I'll be ready come October. Forgot to add i chase grouse in September @ 11000'. That helps a bunch.

Try hiking up & down football bleechers. Bob

PRETTY COOL :cool2: Huh???? an don't tell me you wouldn't do it if it was possible!!! LOL!!!!!!! :party0005:

At my age, it would be a no brainer. I'm still trying to find a hunting area I can do that. :cool2:

I live about 200 yards from the Ocean on South Padre Island, Texas so I'm at zero elevation. The only hills I have around here are sand dunes and I do chase my kids around them. I'm hunting GMU 66 in three weeks and I've been doing the stair stepper, exercise bike and lunges at the gym for the last month. I also quit drinking beer and have lost 10 pounds so I'm feeling pretty good but I know I'm in for a challenge. I've got my pack down to 70 lbs and my plan is to just go slow and stay well hydrated to fight off the altitude sickness.
