[QUOTE="JaseinMT, post: 1078410, member: 69125"] [b]Re: Physical Training For Mountain Hunts[/b] Steve, I wanted to slightly counterpoint your great comments. I'm in my forties, with a work-injured back and arthritic joints all over, I find that lifting weights is essential to staying healthy and mobile. Cross-training has long been proven to improve athletic performance, and strong, dense muscle, connective tissue, and bone prevents injury. I do lifts (squats, front squats w/shoulder press, dead lifts) with light weights and concise form. Been using this regimen for some years, and it has helped keep my spine stable and the arthritis from progressing very far. I highly recommend this program, in addition to simply walking combined with fairly regular sprints (if you can do them), and stretching. Most important is that we do something/anything on a regular basis to promote fitness. People I see with weight problems and mobility issues are those that don't do much, if anything, to work on fitness, and anything is better than nothing. I went mountain grouse hunting last week, and realized I'm going to have to step up my efforts the next 5 weeks for the coming big game season! [/QUOTE]
