Looking for a workout to get you in shape for hunting season? This bodyweight workout is a simple one that you can do at home and guaranteed to get you in tip-top hunting shape.
Six Week Bodyweight Workout
These bodyweight workouts will take about 45 minutes. Some will be a little shorter – think 30 minutes – others will go a little longer; about an hour. If the training schedule doesn’t work for you, make it work. Try not to skip workouts. Instead, you can get them in when you can.
During weeks 1-4 you will train four days during the week.
Ideally, this will take place on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. However, you are free to structure your training days to accommodate your schedule. Three days are strength-focused, using your own bodyweight to workout intervals and circuits. Day four is a cardiovascular training day.
During weeks 5 and 6 you will train five days during the week.
Ideally, this will take place on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Again, you are free to structure your training days to accommodate your schedule. Four days are strength-focused and day five is a cardiovascular training day.
You can’t out-train poor nutrition, but there’s no secret diet.
All you need is willpower. 80% of the time eat real food; lean meat, veggies, fruit, nuts and seeds. Don’t eat foods that come out of a box or bag; no grains, bread, sugar, or starch. It really is that simple, and “cheating” every once in awhile is fine, just don’t make a habit of it.
A dynamic warm-up is the method we use to prepare your body for exercise.
Done correctly, a dynamic warm-up will use continuous movement to transition from a resting heart rate and body temperature to a working heart rate. The idea here is to get your heart going, increase core temperature and break a sweat.
Each session will be assigned a warm-up A, B, or C.
Warm-up A:
3 rounds, 30 seconds each
- Jumping Jack
- Instep Stretch
- Arm Circles (forward /backward, large/small)
- Trunk Rotation (right and left)
Warm-up B:
3 Rounds, 30 seconds each
- Steam Engine
- Trunk Rotation
- Foam Roll IT Band and Quads (If possible)
Warm-up C:
4 Rounds
- 5x BW Squat
- 5x Multi-direction Leg Swing
- 5x Alternate Lunge (each leg)
