" Stretch, drink lots of water and stay hydrated and stretch, i do low weight with lots of reps. That helps with the endurance. low reps and high weight just makes you look stronger,."

Beach muscles are over rated

Its the leg muscles, core strength and cardiovascular health that hunters should strive for

14 more weeks of beer drinking and eating maple bars, then I'll start getting into shape.

I ran a half marathon on Sunday and will continue cardio and weight workouts until the season starts.  It is a year round for me endeavour for me but everyone has to have their own system.  Two hiking/scouting shakeouts also scheduled (July & August).

I am starting Sunday.  I figured I better get one last Budlight session in before I get serious.  I did however start shooting 40 arrows and that feels good.

Did plyometrics last night, going to hit the weights and do some kick boxing tonight.  This thread is getting me fired up for the hunt!.  I need to keep this motivation going.
