EP104: Fitness to Increase Opportunities - Preseason Elk Hunting Guide (Part 4)

Just how important is the relationship of fitness to elk hunting success? Do I have to be in great shape to have success? What does it mean to be in Elk Shape? What are our focus areas of Conditioning and why? Are there any tips for things often missed in the conditioning/preseason prep phase? What about age groups and body sizes? When should I start? How often should I train? Do I need a gym membership? It's Part 4 of our ElkBros PreSeason Elk Hunting Guide, the coaches are in the house and we give our opinions and training knowledge on all those questions and more! If you have seen our group, we represent 40 years of different age categories, different body shapes, weights, sizes as well as different training regiments. But there is one thing that we all agree on, if you are not getting yourself in the best shape possible in your current situation, then you are already creating a limitation to your future elk encounters and opportunities. And that's not an option! Hope you enjoy the episode. Here are just a few of the resources we recommend for you to check out to help you in the Preseason: (We are not sponsored by any of these. In fact, some of them are our competition. But we are coaches and this is about helping you to be the best you can in the elk woods. These are incredible programs that deserve mentioning and you will even find some Promo codes to help you save a few bucks!)
