[QUOTE="Flybuster, post: 186140, member: 8250"] To prepare for archery hunting, the last few years I have been stair climbing. I have some 4 level stairs up the hill from my house. I would start in the spring and do this until fall. The first year I climbed with a backpack with 25 pounds in it. To build more back muscles, and enhance the work out on my legs. I would just climb at a walking speed. Then I added 50 pounds to the backpack, I strained some muscles and had to stop the regimine. This exercise would build the leg and back muscles but I didnt seem to have alot of endurance or energy. And still struggled to keep up with my hunting partner. The second year I sluffed off and gained alot of weight. The third year I worked my tail off, to loose the weight. I lost the back pack and started running the stairs. This really helped my endurance in the fall, I felt really good and had alot of energy. Climbed some rough country elk and chuckar hunting. Had fun. This year I could keep up with my hunting partner easily, until he had his heart attack. Now I'm continuing the cycle of laziness, putting on about 10 pounds. I have already decided I'm going to go at it hard this year. Not give up, its all about will power. I always have more fun when I have the endurance and energy to hunt. [/QUOTE]
