Fitness in the field

[25 Sharps]

Is this part of the suggest fitness regime?

Steps per day was so 2024, it’s 2025 now and rage induced key strokes per minute is the new way to burn those calories.

Must try it myself, the internet rage generated alone must dump lbs in minutes.

Now If we could only harness this renewable power source we might meet our climate change targets

Thanks boys.

I’m not angry in the slightest, just like interacting with my mate Tim.

No, it was noted, comment still stands.

So you were wrong Where in you head did you work out I have no children/grand children come on it must of come from some where, you are never shy of speaking your mind.
Again you like to drag peoples family into your bun fight...Get a grip and stop posting stuff you have no clue about

Exercise bike. Saves the knees etc. Good base plan on the Wattbike app. Gives cardio fitness while strengthening the legs

Basic weights squat deadlift bit of pushing and pulling. I need that to get the carcass into my fridge more than anything else

But it’s mainly the legs

Also I now use an ice fishing drag for the deer. £10 for 2 so they are consumables but also petty robust. May as well make it as easy as I can.

What do mean by ice fishing drag bag

Using a well known injection system Ive lost 22 kgs in 10 months and the impact on my stalking endurance has been incredible, blood pressure treatments binned by doctor, knee aches gone, can now cope with any hill and can carry roe out
quite easily - I have impressed myself with the improvements - not bad for 78!

You on the fat jabs?

I don't believe you have a son or grandchildren Tim? I think your making it up just to stop Sharps from picking you to pieces..

Fitness goes up.

Skeletal integrity… not so much.

If you are 29 years old and not over weight then you will already be fitter than most of us on the Stalking Directory.

I would suggest stair climber for the cardio and moving your weight vertically (I have biiig hills on my permissions and this helped) and then our gym has a weight sled so sprints with that to build up the pulling power in your legs.

Hi all,

I’m looking to improve my overall fitness this includes for my stalking, especially for longer days on the ground. I manage fine on flatter woodland terrain, but when the elevation starts climbing, I definitely feel it more than I’d like - especially when dragging.

For those of you who regularly stalk in the hills, are avid gym goers or personal trainers -

• What kind of training or exercises have you found most effective?
• Do you focus more on cardio, strength, or a mix of both?
• Any practical tips for building up endurance?
• And if you’ve made noticeable improvements, how long did it take before you felt the difference in the field?

I’m not aiming to be an ultra athlete — just fitter, more comfortable, and able to enjoy a full day without feeling like I’ve been run over the next morning.

Would really appreciate any advice, routines, or personal experiences from those who’ve been there and improved their fitness.


Thanks in advance!

Well, I’m 73 next month and I manage okay. Determination seems to prevail

Its usually possible to improvise if you need to, such as butchering in the field if its too much to handle any other way.

Dump the drag-in-the-park muntjac stalking and man-up with fallow.
