Time for me to preach again! Get in Shape

The following link is to a great article from the NRA discussing how and when to get in shape for the coming hunting season. Many years I would be getting started by now carrying my ruck sack and all the rest. Can't since I became disabled, but wish I could.

The rucksack training is the part that always got me too. Wondering what you still get out to do for the season these days even with the disability in the mix.

Thanks @Alan . Lots of downtimes between surgeries, treatments etc. So, in order to stay in some kind of shape I currently go to Oncology P.T. once each week. In addition I ride on my recumbent stationary bike for 30+ minutes along with my home P.T. every day at home. Then, I have some strength building for my arms, shoulders, wrist and lower back. One of our fellow attenders here on the forum gave me some things to do to rebuild my shooting strength. All in about 1.5 to 1.75 hours per day. Also working on gaining some weight. Need to add about 20 pounds. My days of launching out into the woods or bog are behind me. But, I pray I will one day get back to the range.
