Do any of you exercise to keep in shape for hunting?
 

I know that when people ask me about "How much exercise should I do before I hunt in the Rockies", I tell them that working out is extremely important and could save your life, if any of you work out, what kind of exercise do you do? I walk on a treadmill at least an hour a day, what say you!

I remember many years ago reading that the most important thing to work on is you stomach and lower back. There are too many opportunities to fall or wrench your back in some way. Keep your lower back strong and your will be fine.

I don't yet but if I don't start soon I will have to quit the deer hunting. I am 60 now and I can't just grab the gun on opening day and go out and hike through the river breaks. I was a carpenter and builder most of my life and climbed ladders and roofs carring bundles of shingles and lumber. I am mostly retired now and its awful Damn easy to set back and take it easy. However That will soon have you wore down faster than working. The last few years I couldn't do much because of poor health (heart attack) during surgery. I have recovered to about 75-80 percent and its going to take a lot of work to get much further. I will Have to start by just lots of walking which ain't easy when its Winter in North Dakota.:D Have to go to the Mall or the civic center

I lift weight 4 days a week and go hiking. Not for hunting, but for the love of it.

RE: Do any of you exercise to keep in shape for hunting?
 

I usually work out for 1 1/2 hours each day anyhow. I'm in pretty good shape. Pre-season scouting and stand locations, trimming etc.... will get your butt in shape too.

RE: Do any of you exercise to keep in shape for hunting?
 

i walk up the side of a mountain a couple times a week. plus chase after a two year old after i get home from work. that in itself is a work out

RE: Do any of you exercise to keep in shape for hunting?
 

i wrk out from the time i get up till i go to bed, get up go to wrk, 8-12 hrs a day, 6-7 days week, then play with kids -16 mon. and a 3 yr old--the other two have left for school by time i get home. but even as demanding as kids can be it maybe wouldnt hurt to do a lil more. only ? is when?--LOL

RE: Do any of you exercise to keep in shape for hunting?
 

I've always enjoyed working out, not only does it
help to feel my best, but certainly helps with the
endurance involved with hunting hard. I've used
free weights, as well as, a stationary bike and
stairclimber for the last 20 years.
