I love to workout with the Swedish Ball, I do everything I can with it.
Miltary Press w/Dumbelss
Curls w/Dumbells
Etc...
Every excesise one does on the ball we get a two for one. We work a muslce group and our core.
I also love kick boxing, for cardio I find it to be the best for me. Besides 15 girls and me in a class is a good thing.

I'm down 20 some odd pounds since last season. Primarily watching my intake and doing 4 daysa week of either jogging, biking, or HIIT..
At 6'0 and 200lbs, I could still stand to lose anothe 15lbs.. That would put me at my ideal body weight. I haven't seen that since highschool..
More than anything I just want to get in really good shape. I'm planning a bivy hunt to CO in 2009 and have to start now preparing.

One of my summer activities is cutting up the trees I cut down during the winter and getting the wood to the wood pile. One of the trees this year is so big, 36"+ red oak,I can't transport the log sections and I have to split them where the tree fell. All in all a very good summer workout
. With that and the other stuff I do around here I stay in pretty good shape.

On a serious note....I think getting in shape for the season is a great idea, heck it's a great idea period. I too need to get my cardio up to better levels. I tend to lift weights and then hit the weights.[&:]I need to get out and walk more. My jogging (high impact) days are pastme with three knee surgeries and most of the cartilage gone in my left knee. My back doctor (you know it's bad when you have a "back doctor") also tells me I'm on borrowed time as I have two completely herniated discs that I deal with on a day to day basis. I'm trying to prolong the "knife" as long as possible. Of course it would help to lose a couple pounds but I've been over 300lbs my entire adult life so I don't know what I'd do if I dropped below that....maybe take up track?? I'll feel like a sprinter under 300lb![Big Grin](https://www.huntingnet.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

I'm watching my diet and it seems to be working, I've dropped 12 lbs now since march 1st (down to about 315...Wooohoooo!) trying to take it slow so as to lose it the right way, so far so good. It get's tougher every day though as everything hurts after I lift....I mean everything, it's sick! My elbows are trashed my wrists hurt, fingers, ankles, knees, back....You guys think it would be "cool" to play in the NFL huh?? I'm starting to think it wasn't worth it......Christ just put a bullet in me now![&:]
I'll keep plugging away...it's all I know. I think I need to PM Germ for some professional advise....seriously dude, I'll be in touch. He's the "go to guy" when it comes to this stuff. I think I need to work on some of the core crap you keep talking about, I think it would help my back tremendously.
Anyway, I can still get out, play with my kidsand hunt, and that's all that matters now.

It's all about the core/speed/strength these days. Once one has a solid core, the foundation is set for the entire body and look out. Barwis is an animal. Go Blue

I am taking cardio to a new level for me this year in preparation for 2 elk hunts. I have run 1 half marathon thus far this year, am running one this weekend, and running a third in September. I have also been in the gym lifting 3-5 days a week for the last 6 months. I have lost only about 8 pounds, but my waist has shrunk, and like GMMAT said, who cares what the scale says if your % body fat is dropping. All I know is the elk better look out this year because I am going to run them down since I can't get anything else to work
EDIT: as an add-on, I have been sick more times than any year I can remember so far this year so go figure...
