Hey Guys, excellent inputs on workout options. I am loving this !
AkDan, Sounds like you are working hard. Cant wait to hear about your hunts this year. I always wanted to hunt Alaska. Use to love to read the articles and books by Jay Massie.
You guys, dont let any of these workouts scare you. Do what you can. Any exercise is better then none. Write down what you are doing and keep in in a log. each week go back and read the entries and see if you are getting stronger and faster in your routines.
To coin a phrase from P90X... Set a Goal, Write it down....5, 4, 3, 2, 1.....lets get Elk-Fit
Todays work out is a killer. Reduce the numbers to suit your fitness level. This workout can take more than an hour for us average folk. So be prepared.

So, this workout is a killer, i reduced my distances today and only did 2000 meter rows and a 3/4 mile run. Also i added 75 hammer swings between the rows and runs.
This works your legs, your upper body, your shoulders your core and your lungs. You will build endurance and strength in all areas.
Dont let it scare you all off. Reduce the distances and quantities to suit your fitness level.
