Staying in shape during down time

zeemang · May 20, 2020

For the past month or so my wife and I have been doing light weight workouts. One day is arms and shoulders, next day legs, etc. We are using very light weights, 5 pounds, and switch to 10 pound weighs for one set. It really seems to be helping my shoulders, which has always given me issues when I hunt frequently. Hoping to keep in shape and actually be in better shape for when I can finally get out and not be beat after an hour. Still no word on when beaches may open down here...
Anyone else doing something similar?

I probably should but don't. Lighter weights are good for that tone and muscular strength. Repetitions are the key. I feel sorry for you and everyone else who can't detect. Hopefully it opens soon for you guys.

What ? Come on. You haven't been hunting ? The pirate of all pirates ? I thought maybe you were testing a new machine....

My husband and I do a 20-minute, low impact "routine" (we mix it up) every day that we found on youtube called Hasfit. It has a series of exercises for old-sters that are based on stretching movements. I also do what I call water-pressure moves in the pool ---REALLY makes a difference.

Down time? Didn't know there was such a thing. You should try keeping your skills sharp on the land, while waiting for the beaches. I promise... there's gold there, too!

At 58 I climb ladders and walk about 3 miles per day at work. I skip lunch 4 out of 7 days, not by choice. Maintaining 200lbs, 6’2”.

Still waiting for my "AQ"...or Pulse Devil ..which ever comes first.. :no:

Not much hunting this month ..maybe 5 times, most of the hunting now is very selective, only hunting the best conditions.... which has been good so far.

They do have a good variety of workouts keeps it from getting boring. Does taking the granddaughter and dog for a 2-3 hour walk pulling a wagon count as a work out.

Surfing. Lots of longboarding to be specific. Went from 195lbs around the start of the year to 172lbs today. Also been walking up/down my condo stairs with a 20lb plate carrier for cardio. Cut way back on the alcohol and now eating more veggies/home cooked meals.

I have maintained the same weight and kept up my same nightly walking routine from years ago and the pushup and crunch exercises that I started about a year ago to help my strength for detecting. Going to add resistance bands once a week now. I know that once I get out and am able to detect the 2-3X that I was detecting before, there are muscles that are going to be really sore those first few times.
