[QUOTE="FireFlyFishing, post: 3058932, member: 127412"] This thread really depends on age and condition of the individual. The list below assumes you can handle an aggressive PT program. 1. Lose weight. Get as close as you can to ideal weight for your age and body type. Google the umpteen ways to get you here. Find what works for you. Diet is very important here. You don’t have to live in the mountains for this. 2. Start running a lot. Again, google is your friend here. Get on an AGGRESSIVE running schedule. Like it really should suck, yet you see improvement. Cycling can augment or even replace running depending on your needs. 3. Hike around where you live with an approximate weight you will carry when hunting. Use your pack and your boots! Go for 15 min miles or less. This is not a fun pace. Go for more than 3 miles at this pace. Ok, so you’ve done all the above and now you’re at camp and ready to go hunting. I recommend getting there early by a few days and go scouting…AGGRESSIVELY. Those will be your hardest days. Hydrate and DONT drink booze. Eat well, but lots of calories…throughout the day. [/QUOTE]
