Thread: General Fitness Upkeep

I frequent the gym heaps because they are free to use here in the camps and have excellent gear. I am back (almost) to having the physique I had in my 20's but I wouldnt say I have the fitness. I mainly just try and strengthen my old body that has been trashed by the military and the hills, so I can enjoy my huntring. The wife doesnt mind the time I spend on keeping fit either.
I agree with the others, there is nothing like time on the hill.

When I was a grunt you were paid and expected to be in peak condition. I still have the drive but not the speed, and to be honest, the slower I got the more I seen in the way of animals. I hate hunting with fit buggers that see a point and go head down ass up to get there missing everything in between.
I have also got cunning (or lazy) and hunt meat animals where I know I can get as much home, with out killing myself like I used too.
The way I see it is, if I spend a little time maintaining my fitness I will be able to spend a lot more of my life doing what I love in the mountains. It also helps with maintaining my aviation medical which costs shitloads every 6 months wether you pass or fail.
