Conditioning for Hunters

Going hunting without any physical activity before the season starts can be dangerous. You should start to work out before the season starts to prevent this. Even if you move around doing anything for just a couple of minutes can be enough to start conditioning the heart and lungs for the season to come. There are many different activities that you can do either by yourself or if you do it with a partner.  Some of the activities are walking, bicycling, jogging, gardening, hiking, bowling, and dancing. There are more things that you can do besides those. There are also many things that you can do during your regular routine.  Such as walking up the stairs instead of taking the elevator. Instead of parking in the closest spot to the door in the parking lot, park further away. Finally start taking walks around the block on your lunch breaks. There are so many reasons for getting the activity before hunting season starts. For example walking strengthens your heart and lungs and puts them in better condition. This regular activity can help reduce fatigue and help you manage stress. All of these improvements can help you walk further in the woods. You could also be able to sit in the tree longer. The improvements with managing your stress could also help prevent you from getting buck fever. More importantly if you do some of these little activities you could prevent yourself from injury. Besides the work outs that you can do, you can also eat healthier. NYS Department of health recommends eating 5 fruits and vegetables a day. They also recommend drinking low-fat or 1 percent milk. If you can make these improvements then your hunting experience will change into being more enjoyable. You may also be able to reach that one amazing spot way deep in the woods that you weren’t able to make it to before. These changes are up to you. If it’s brown then it’s down.
