    I find the best fitness for hunting is hunting, and the best conditioning for spearfishing is spear fishing

    Do what you love. love what you do. Im sure as fuck not going to punish myself incase I get a deer.
    besides it only hurts for 3 days afterwards anyway

    Any physical activity is great for the mind and body and will help you out in all aspects of life in my opinion.

    Know what you mean there, in 1999 I didn't get to stop for lunch (food type) till September.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    Oh dear. And if your wife is like most she will absolutely not understand your practising on others for her benefit.

    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    yea the last stag I shot I ended up falling over on the first step after being helped to my feet
    dont worry tho my face broke my fall

    I have a pack with a canvas liner that can fit more than a mature bull tahr in If broken down with shoulder bone in and skin on when smartly packed I dont ever intend to carry more bone or skin than I need to out

    working in the primary industry helps, walking the dog ect. but like has been said without a pack its all just cardio,

    have been packing in to a few spots with a 80L filled with gear and im quickly buggered compared to walking almost all day and feeling sweet

    Try pushing a Zimmer frame up hill for two or three hours,now that is a work out lol. Sidling around bluffs can be a challenge but I remain stable,f##k any other forms of exercise.

    Old-ish thread, but my two cents worth is: Bodyweight stuff is productive, even high rep squats once yours legs get used to the full range of movement. Pushups, pullups, bits and pieces like that round things out. Not worth getting all anal about super sets, tetra hdroxy- this and that crap, just thrash yourself, but rest up enough to hit the hills. Squats have helped a lot for the rigours of bush bashing.

    I'm not a gym person, but living in the city and working a desk job ... if I want to enjoy my hunting and time in the hills to the max ... I bit my tongue a little while ago and gave the gym another shot. I'm enjoying it a lot more this time round. Rather than have a trainer build a program for you which you end up repeating for the next 6 weeks I found a great fitness apps for smart phones . Try "fitness builder" on android.

    https://www.pumpone.com/fitnessbuilder

    You can choose workouts based on your location: Home / Home Gym / Gym / Etc and your objective strength / mass / weight loss / abs / tramping / ... but the best part for me is the variation which keeps it interesting and the app tracks/logs your exercises.

    You get one month free and even if you never set foot in a gym the app will still keep you busy and it is fully instruction on how to perform the exercise and/or use the equipment.
