If you're an athlete or fitness buff, you already know what to do. But if you're at a loss about how keep that first month of hunting each year from being agony, this will help.
Thanks, Holly. Whether a person follows the “Chicken Walk” exactly or not, you set a great example for hunters, hikers, canoe campers, etc. Just do something! Before you attempt the mud-slogging first duck hunt; the 340-rod wilderness canoe portage and the half-mile deer drag. As a male outdoorsman in his mid-60s, I can attest to the benefits of a rigorous, pre-trip workout regiment prior to hunting season. Long, brisk walks (gets the dog in shape too), lifting weights with upper body, stationary bike, lightweight squats, and treks through the local state parks/ public hunting areas all help me prepare for the rigors of the hunting seasons. (The best part….with minimal soreness afterwards and fast recovery time.
Thanks for the inspiration. Oh wait; gotta go and do some quick reps on the weights. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for sharing. I like the formula idea. I have 2 German Short-haired Pointers I hunt upland birds with & I walk/run them 2x daily, every day to keep them in shape, thus I manage to stay in decent shape, but there are times, my stamina doesn’t hold up. This should be the ticket to my stamina! I just did a grouse/woodcock hunt in Wisconsin & opened quail season in Texas where I’m from & did fine…I’ve got an upcoming hunt in AZ in mid-December & I’ll start that training now & feel like it will make a huge difference! Thank you! Thank you!…I never want to be the girl who slowed my buddies down…😊
Really cool!! I love this, precisely because it’s NOT running.
Thank you for sharing your method that works! ❤️🙏
100%!! It really is!
But no joint jarring!! 👏
