Conditioning for hunt.
« on: August 11, 2008, 12:26:13 am »
Here is a pic or two of a mountain I climbed today for fun and to get conditioned for the up coming hunt. Camped out shot stumps and had a blast.  L.J.

Pat this mountain is only 13,200 and change but I couldn't tell it from the climb. It is the highest in the Laplata group near Durango and about 10-12 miles from where we hunted. No sheep or goats in this area.  Kenneth

I get up at 0445 every morning during the week.  I hit the gym and run 2.75 miles on the elliptical runner on the cross training mode....up and down hill, forwards and backwards.

I then lift weights.  I do chest, abs, back and biceps everyday, switching up the exercises each day.

I have also lost 20#.  It has made a WORLD of difference in enjoying my hunts....

Thanks every one, yep it must be working, this is the fourth major workout and I was barely sore today. I don't think I will be dancing with Elk but maybe I will be able to get there at least. Ryan you are right it is cold on those peaks and scarey, they do make the lungs burn and the heart sing.   Kenneth

reminds me of home... very nice country.. hope you have a successful hunt... conditioning for the hunt is something too many people don't do and it costs them in the end... aim, pick a spot, smooth release.... look forward to the huning pics ;D HAWK

Looks good Kenneth! This flatlander starts seeing stars at around 13,000' ;D. Guess I could start jogging, but not sure even that would help in a world where theirs not oxygen, haha. I can still take a lickin and keep tickin though - still young at heart :).
