Burpees are awful. If you’ve done only one, you are already aware of this. They are used as a penalty for not completing an obstacle at some of the fitness races. How bad must they be if they are used as a punishment at an already grueling event? Quite simply because they are a great tool for making improvements to your health and physical abilities.

Have You Given HIIT a Try Recently (photo courtesy of fitelicious.com)?
In an attempt to come up with a catchy title I wanted make sure I clarified what HIIT is. The acronym stands for high intensity interval training, which means you do an exercise at a very high intensity level for a time period followed by a lower intensity activity (active resting) for a period of time then repeat. It’s a topic that’s been talked about here on huntingfit.com but I wanted to take another look at it and see how it can benefit you. Continue Reading…

Come on! How Could I Write an Article on Running In the Sand Without Including Rocky! (Photo Courtesy of varsitypunk.com)
Running in the sand? You’re thinking give me a break. This is a hunting and fitness website not some beach resort hang out. Hang with me though. For a lot of us getting our strides is usually done on flat, hard surfaces. If you’re lucky you get to mix in some trail runs to add a certain level of difficulty to managing the terrain with your feet and ankles. Now think about a surface that is somewhat fluid and changes as you apply the force from your foot. Continue Reading…
Tell Me This Guys Isn’t Intense and Utilizing a Magnitude of Muscles to Accomplish a Single Task! (Photo Courtesy of businessinsider.com)
I wanted to cover one more exercise regarding functional movements and the three planes of human movement. The transverse plane which dissects the body through your waist and separates your head from your toes probably doesn’t get the attention it deserves relative to how much it’s used in the field. Most movements that work in this plane have a twisting effort involved thus working your core muscles in a rotational fashion. A great (actually two great equal and opposite) exercise to utilize are wood chops and reverse wood chops. Both of these involve basically the same movement but in opposite directions.

There are some circumstances where if we want to get a workout it then we’ll need to breakdown and use a treadmill. Fortunately for us there are several benefits I have learned that can be gained by utilizing a treadmill. Continue Reading…

I wanted to mix it up a bit today and try something a little different with all you HuntingFit.com readers. Beings that fitness is something that we all have in common I figure its a great topic we can all share with each other.

So rather than me do all the talking I would like to open it up to you the readers to post up your favorite daily workout. For brevity’s sake just pick what would be an ideal day to prepare yourself physically to be a better hunter?
