Working HARD the last 4 days. Today more raking and digging and I should be done.I will be happy to be done with this job. My right leg has been numb from the knee down since Friday evening. Annoying! I will be glad when it comes back to life. I did out work a couple of guys 20 and 30 years younger than me. :haha: :train: :haha:
2016 Season Workout
- Thread starter bowhunter
- Start date
The heat here has me a/c bound for the time being.. I only get out at night and early in the morning to walk the dog and do my bike ride which is not in an a/c building... But still doing the bike when the room next door is cooler... May have to stop when it gets too hot and stays that way in the bike building... 
I just can\'t stand hot and humid anymore... :downthumb: :downthumb:

I have a pt test this week or next, so I\'ve just been doing practice PT tests everyday.
Push ups, sit ups, and running. After I am done I\'ll hit the gym HARD again.

Riding my bike to work is having a negative affect. It sucks just enough energy from me to keep me from doing anything else. Like jogging.
I\'m running up a 7% grade 1.5 miles on weekends. It sucks!!!!\'
I walk back down to save knees.

I started my 2016 workout in October. I had pain in my upper back this year elk hunting and knew I needed to work on my core. I started the first exercise with push-ups. I did 300 the first day. Wow! I hurt everywhere. My triceps hurt my sides and my abs really hurt. I waited a week to heel from that and did 200 the next time I exercised. That didn\'t feel so bad and things were healing. I waited a few days and did 350. I felt the tightness in the muscles but no pain like the first time. On Monday the 19th I set my goal at 400. I managed to squeeze out 425
I have added some lower body workouts to get me up the mountain a little quicker. Today I started with lunges. I decided on them instead of squats because the knee is only bent 90 degrees in a lunge and less chances of hurting the knee. I did my lunges with a 25 lb dumbbell in each hand. My goal is 200 on each leg. I am up to 50 so far.
Next year I plan on being in my top elk hunting shape ever. I am also going to get into ultralight gear and minimal gear, Thanks Gary :upthumb:
If that gets too boring try increasing the weight and lowering the reps. It will also help build muscle faster.
