Hunting // Training Plans
Make sure you are physically prepared for your next big hunt with one of our pre-made Hunting Plans.
Mountain Fitness - I
8 Weeks // Beginner
This program is designed for individuals who are not currently participating in regular exercise training. The overall goal of this plan is to introduce the individual to structured exercise training and to build a foundation of endurance and strength that will enable them to complete more rigorous goal specific training in the future. Those who already exercise train more than 3-4 times per week should look at our more advanced exercise training plans to accomplish their specific goals.
This plan is perfect for those wanting to transition back to training after a long break or for those looking to tackle their first 14'er in Colorado during the summer or a similar climb or hike. All strength training sessions are designed so that they can be completed with minimal gym equipment. Emphasis is placed on getting outside and running/hiking to build solid training habits. Once instilled, these habits will enable you to tackle more difficult training regimens in the coming weeks and months. In a sense, you are "training to train."

Backcountry Hunting - I
8 Weeks // Beginner
This plan is designed for individuals who are regularly active no more than 3-4 times/week and are looking to transition into a more rigorous training approach to prepare them for big-game hunting in the high-country (think Rocky Mountain Elk or Mule Deer). It provides a solid foundation of strength training for core muscles used during uphill propulsion while carrying a heavy pack (work that every hunter hopes for). In order for this plan to be effective, it is important to keep a few concepts in mind: 1) Rest when you are tired. If you miss a workout do not try to make it up. Move on to the next day. 2) If you miss more than two workouts in any given week, then repeat that week. This includes if you get sick. In this case, we recommend that you do not train! Training while sick often leads down a long path of misery and delays long-term performance gains. If you get a cold or the flu, rest. Take the week off and, depending on how long you are out, repeat the week when you are feeling healthy again.
When you have finished this training program, you should be ready for the 16 Week Big Mountain Hunting Plan, which is designed to prep you for longer duration hunts in the mountains.

Backcountry Hunting - II
16 Weeks // intermediate
This plan will prepare you for long days in the mountains and is for the athlete that is already regularly active (e.g., exercises 3-5 hours per week). It includes a shortened base phase that utilizes strength training workouts that are aimed at improving hip strength and flexibility as well as core stability. These types of exercises will pay dividends when carrying those heavy packs in the backcountry. Additionally, the entire plan will continue to build a solid aerobic foundation to support multiple day efforts of big game mountain hunting. Your biggest training week (week 15) comes in at 11 hours of total training for the week.

Pre-Season Hunting Bootcamp (Archery)
8 weeks // Intermediate
This is an ideal plan is for those who have a goal of maximizing their chances of success on an archery hunt in the big mountains. It has specific strength workouts aimed at improving muscle strength and stamina associated with bow-hunting. This would also be an ideal plan for an experienced hunter with a good base of endurance to use as a crash-course for those surprise hunts or last minute over-the-counter tag opportunities. This eight week plan progresses gradually but has difficult days straight out of the gate in the first week and pairs well at the tail-end of our 16 Week Big Mountain Hunting Plan.
