How many people are running or going to the gym getting in shape for the up coming spring bear hunts? I have been running 4 miles a day we it my hounds. I have 6 dogs so I take one out every day let's hear what everyone else does to keep in shape

I do a combination of olympic lifting and Crossfit, 3x week, year around, but need to up it and cut some weight before fall. Will probably start supplementing with running, biking and hiking. I need to get the goats in shape to pack anyway. Just waiting for the snow to melt for the hiking.

I work and go to school 5 days a week. I am going to 2 different schools on 1 of those days (work requirement) By the time the weekend hits, I'm done! But with a wife and three young kids, life doesn't slow down on the weekends either. Wish I had time to exercise..........One day.......I keep telling myself that one day I will have earned the time through finishing school to do the things I want....... Probably be dead before I see that day LOL!

LAST EDITED ON Mar-09-15 AT 01:10PM (MST)[p]At 67 1/2 I've been doing a brisk 2+ mile walk every day for almost 10 years now. This September I have a high country elk hunt I'm helping on, as well as a high country deer hunt of my own and decided to do more to make sure I'm ready for fun. Two weeks ago I started a daily 1/2 hour routine on 3 different machines the neighbor has in his basement. After that I get dressed and go right out for that daily walk. In just two weeks I've already upped the machines quite a bit with the shape I was already in and by September I really think I'll be ready and able to do a lot more than I already can without taxing myself too bad.

I walk 4 miles a day 4 times a week, then stairs and weights 3 times a week.

I've been a little lax since my moose hunt but I'm back in the groove now with the real prospects of a great mule deer tag.

I lifted weights Friday night and haven't been able to lift my arms to brush my teeth or comb my hair ever since, LOL. I know you guys know how I feel.

The snow is about reduced enough in a few places to hit the hills again and there's always the sidewalks around town.

It will all pay off
it will all pay off

I am just getting to the point where I can do physical activity after getting my appendix removed, followed by several surgery related complications, and spending 13 days in the hospital. I did go through my police in-service training for three days last week without hurting myself.

I usually run 3 miles at least twice a week followed by some weights, push-ups and crunches at home.

Bring on the hunts! After two years of not drawing any hunts in Utah or Nevada I would be happy with anything this year. Even a doe tag.

I'm not doing it for a bear hunt, but I do exercise everyday. I can't function if I don't. If I don't exercise one day, I get real cranky and down. I've been doing it quite consistently for so long that it's almost a bit of an addiction. I need to get at least a hard 1/2 hour, but usually go an hour or a bit more everyday. Running, Mountain Biking, Weightlifting, Mountain Running/Power Hiking, etc.

I really like picking an event an training hard for it and pushing my butt super hard. Once July rolls around, then I focus on backpacking for the most part.

I used to know how you feel about the addiction but I got over it.
Just eat more Twinkies and it will subside! LMAO

At 52 I have to! I found out a couple of years ago I cant even take off a few months, I finished a 10 day elk hunt that I hiked 7+ miles a day, when I got home I figured I would take some time off to recoup. Bad Idea. Went I went back to my routine I felt like every joint had locked up, I had pains in places that had never bothered me, so I decided then to try and do a little something 5 or 6 days a week. I hike in the local hills 5.5 mile 3X a week and do a push ups, pull ups, planks routine three times a week. Feel a lot better when I keep after it all year. I am running from old age, but every time I look over my shoulder, it is getting closer! I had to drag out a deer this last year at 8000' elevation and backpack another one out my myself, man I can't wait for my son to finish his hitch in the Marine corps this fall. I need some help!!! Good luck to everyone in the drawings!

Dikndirt · Mar 9, 2015

Just got in from a 5 mile run tonight...started running with my mid thirty year old daughters about 4 years ago and got hooked on competitive distance running. I turned 60 last fall so I am the youngster in my age group. It sure has paid off on my sons goat hunt 1.5 years ago and my bear hunt last spring. Also makes packing elk quarters a little easier when you are in good shape!

Smokepole · Mar 10, 2015

Been hitting the gym 3-4 times a week, weights and eliptical. Waiting for the snow to melt and mud to dry up so I can start pushing it up the hills. I'll begin looking for sheds now that we've got more more daylight after I get off work.

I am lifting 3 times a week and running 4 miles 2-3 times a week. I plan on increasing my running in the coming weeks in order to prepare for a half marathon in June. I am not a great runner but I have found that if I sign up for a half marathon it forces me to run. My goal is to be in great shape this fall so that I can keep up with Founder in mountains of Wyoming and then hit the Wasatch hard with my bow this fall.

No bear hunt for me either, but I almost died (literally) from exercising two months ago. I had a heart attach while hiking a mountain with my son(trying to keep in shape). Fortunately he was there to get Lifeflight to me and after a couple of stents in my heart, my doctor says I should be good as new.
I am now lifting weights and hitting the incline treadmill 6 days a week for 30-45 minutes. My diet has also turned into rabbit food, but it's all worth it if I can keep chasin critters.

At 65, I am blessed and fortunate to have a second chance, so my advice is to put down the dews Bess!

Zeke · Mar 10, 2015

Yep LBH, you would have been a goner if Spence wasn't there.
You had us all scared for a couple days.
You look pretty good now and we're glad you're on the mend.... NOW go hunt a Stone sheep!

Dickndirt was in my office yesterday. The "kid" looks pretty darn good for a 60 year old. He's been at it pretty hard for the last few year and it paid off but he's never let himself get too far out of shape.

hounddawgs · Mar 10, 2015

Duckhunterbrad · Mar 19, 2015

I am lucky enough to live only 2 miles from work. I go home everyday and do an intense 30 minute workout over lunch. Like some of the other guys if I don't do it I feel like crap the rest of the day.
