It’s almost time for this years hunting season to start. Are you prepared? The most common problem that hunters experience is that they do not have the two physical conditioning components that are required on any backcountry hunt: cardiovascular and muscular.
The Outwork Hunting Workout is a complete 4-week fitness plan to get you ready for the hunting season. The program includes both a cardio training and strength training plan and schedule. The strength training plan is geared to be used in a gym setting with access to weights. Unlike the Suspended programs, this training plan is not TRX Suspension Trainer based. The cardio plan suggests that you use either a treadmill or a bike, however you can substitute other cardio forms.

Throughout his entire life Mike had struggled with his weight. It came to a climax as a Kinesiology major in university; Mike wasn’t living by what he was learning. Due to his poor fitness and nutrition habits, his weight had increased to 275lbs. It was then that he knew that he needed to make a change. Through a combination of nutrition, exercise, and development of his Why, one of the most important factors Mike believes for achieving your goals, he was able to drop over 85lbs.
Mike credits his own personal struggle with weight as his motivating factor for helping his clients achieve their personal best, and making a difference in their lives. Fitness isn’t a punishment; it’s a blessing. Nutrition isn’t a one-size-fits-all and may not look the same for everyone, but it is something worth fighting for.
