This something I gotta get on this year hard too...I've went to crap the last 10 years "since I've been with the wife", lol. I think I'm gonna break down and order the P90X dvd's and go from there. I've never been much on the Infomercial crap but I've heard nothing but great things about P90X. Some of the guys over on Archerytalk are on it and they say it's crazy the results you get from it. I use to be in good shape when I was younger and raced Motocross all the time, then after MX I went into playing tournament paintball and it kept me in good shape, hell all you did was run all day in the hot weather with a ton of gear on. But since I got out of those I've went to a fat sack of crap pretty much. Time to buckle down and get back into shape.

I train hard most of the year with alot of heavy lifting.I have done some small
weight lifting comps and its fun but when the season gets closer I have
learned to bump up the cardio more,makes me feel way better dragging whitetails
out of the woods and also hanging stands and scouting.This year I had some good training chasing after my 2yr old little girl every day.Now that is some serious training...lol I thought I was in shape to she hit the terrible 2s..

J,

I have done the P90X and it's a great program. A lot of guys at the fire houses are getting some good resutls from it, on that note if you want to save the cash and you have a minimalist home gym, crossfit.com is the way to go. It's high intensity interval training and has had the same great results for a bunch of us. I really like it b/c they post the workout of the day the night before and it always changes to hit all major muscle groups. Check it out I think you'll like it, also they have guides to build almost all of your own equipment really all you need is some dumbells, olympic weights and a pull-up bar, the rest can be made for a small amount of cash.

Clan_Cassidy, I might check into that. I dont have any stuff at the house but I do have free access to a small gym anytime I want to go. Our local hospital has a small gym in the _base_ment that's just for people who work there & their families...My wife is the V.P. at the hospital so I have 24/7 access to it. But they dont really have any free weights or pul-up bars. Just machines & treadmills & bikes.

I plan on laying the bow down for two months after the new year and working on ab and upper body strength. Early March I plan on working on blank bale for a while and then ease myself into turkey season. This winter I'll be X-country and downhill skiing, and will ramp up the trail running and mtn biking come spring and summer. I would like to try crossfit, but I don't think my dog would appreciate me spending all that time at the gym.

Any ever tried or have seen this crazy sport. I think it is really cool with rifles and would give it a shot with the bow.
