Somehow i gained 20 lbs this winter. I was disgusted when i got on the scale. I have been taking my dog to the nature preserve every nice day and trying to do at least 3 miles and huffing it up the hills trying to make it real exercise. I don't walk on the trail so it is pretty much like hiking. I have been keeping my eye out for antler sheds. Have yet to find one...

I'm right there with you. Mine has all been put on since deer season (or what I sometimes refer to as Reese's peanut butter cup season). A little bit of outdoor work, and I'm winded and then sore as heck the next day. I've been eating all the wrong things and way too much of it all. I used the first day of Spring as a start to see if I can shed 15 of it by the first day of summer.

Thankfully i haven't been sore or too awful winded. But my lack of activity this winter really showed up on the scale.....Someone needs to make 0 calorie beer...lol

I’m going the opposite route of y’all. I’m upping my whiskey and beer intake. I gotta keep up with the younger generation at camp this deer season!!!!

I need to start hiking and walking more along with pushups and sit ups.  Also fell back on eating to much bread and soda so I'm trying to stop those also.  Last deer season reminded me with my newer style of hunting I need to be in better shape before the season comes around.

My secret is to find something good to watch , im currently watching the sopranos ,i never watched it when it was on.

That is what I do also.  The Sopranos was ok.  I just finished "Dare to Dream, the Alan Kulwici story", which was excellent.  I have an old color tv, VCR & dvd player in our basement gym.

My workout schedule is about 45 minutes each weekday morning before work, with resistance training on M,W,F, and cardio on T,T.   On  M, W, F evenings I add another hour of cardio, about an hour after dinner.

If I miss a workout, I make up for it on the off days or on the weekends.  It is very rare, that I miss a morning one.  I also use the stairs at work quite often, and take advantage of free fun stuff on the weekends like biking, cross country ski, snowshoe, swimming, etc.

All that makes it easy to stay in shape year round, and that definitely makes hunting more enjoyable, especially up in the Adirindacks, where I go a few times each year. Staying in shape is not as vital for hunting the flatlands around home, but it dont hurt when you need to drag the occasional buck out of a swamp.
