[QUOTE="2Bits, post: 972530, member: 81831"] Gentlemen I have always felt that all sports requires training! Many hunters feel like hunting is one sport you really just don't need to work your butt off at, perhaps not in some places hunting deer. Our woods in the Ozarks don't require one to run 5 miles a day or climb the bleachers up and down at the local high school, however if your ever going to hunt the mountains you best get busy 90 days before your hunt if your under 40 years old. If your over 40, best give yourself another 30 days added to the above, especially if your a flatlander were the elevation is under 3000ft. I never really trained much for hunting, only to do my sport of boxing and bare knuckle fighting, trust me I put in a lot of roadwork and weight training, plus other things (to many to mention). Then after the age of 45, things started to change for me while in the mountains. It became much harder to climb those benches. My breathing was labored and my legs heavy! So when I planned a hunt in the mountains, I started a 120 day program with walking up and down the Ozark hills and jogging several miles with a backpack loaded with various weight poundages. Always carried plenty of water too! It worked well for this old retired Poloka. I don't jog anymore with the weights but do walk those steep Ozark hills and try to get at least 3 miles a day under my belt. I am 70 plus years old now, so my hunting in the mountains has slowed down considerably. Diabetes set in at 65 but I ain't givin in no sir. Also don't for get to work out with some light to medium dumbbells, please do look up a good friend of mine Mr. Bill Pearl in Medford, Oregon the best **** trainer in the country. [/QUOTE]
