Bow Hunting Fitness - Part 2

Here's Part 2 in our Feature on BowHunting Fitness...

Tim's Workout is based on strength training using free weights twice a week. I know...I know...You thought this was all about hunting didn't you?

Well, I can tell you that being fit will help you that much more as a bowhunter. You'll be in better physical shape as well as be more alert, enabling you to get the edge on those who aren't in the best of shape.

If you don't have access to a gym or time for one, devise your own plan based off of what Tim has to say.

Maybe even use rocks or pieces of firewood...Don't laugh :) When I was a kid I got into pretty good shape swinging an ax!

Enjoy,

Michael

I lift before I go to work on Monday and Friday mornings. The gym opens at 6:00 a.m. on those days.

You might want to consider doing one set of each exercise for the first couple of weeks. Use VERY LIGHT WEIGHTS for the first month. The weights listed in this workout are my 12 rep weights. Unless stated, all weights are free weights. If you don’t know what some of these exercises are, try my links page. They’ll steer you in the right direction!

I recommend purchasing a book that demonstrates the different types of weight training exercises. Go to any Walden’s or Barnes & Noble bookstore and browse through the fitness section.
