I need to figure out a training program for the off season.
I woke up this morning with aches and pains from dragging a sled full of gear through the slush yesterday. It was good to be out on the ice even if the only I caught were small ones.
I don’t know what you can do for cardio but google “no gym required” and you’ll find a lot of sites/articles on home exercises without significant equipment.
Smitty sled
Dirtbike, you can hurt all year long then…
Be active year round. It’s easy and cheap. I watch some of my buddies start acting like they are dying when they pull a sled a 1/4 Mile. That should be a bodies normal all day every day activity
The off season training was really tongue in cheek but I do need to build my Smith sled. I bought cross country skis from a garage sale for that reason, but like many projects it hasn’t happened yet.
Smitty Sled. lol.
After walking quarter mile in foot deep of snow and slush year, that changed my mind. Damn otter is a stupid tank.
My cardio routines are pretty simple.
3 to 5 times a week.
A 40 to 50 lb pack on back and 4 to 5 mile hikes.
The other option is 15 to 20 mile rides on my mountain bike.

X2!
My kids got me a Fitbit watch for Christmas. When I put it on my wrist it dialed 911!!!
When I was younger, dragging the deer for them hunting folks was great training…
Smitty sled and down hill skis are waaay better than CC skis.
I renewed my gym membership a month ago and it feels amazing! I have a desk job and don’t get the physical activity I like at work, so I make time for the gym doing a combo of cardio and weightlifting. Going for walks is another great way to keep your body healthy! I tried various home-gym ideas and equipment and you really just don’t get the variety at home like you can with a gym.
My health insurance plan now offers rewards for tracking your steps and other fitness related activity! What fitness trackers do you guys use and what are the pros/cons? I know my Android smartphone probably comes with a tracker but if I’m on the treadmill at the gym my phone usually sits stationary on the machine, not in my pocket. I suppose that could be a benefit to a fitness watch like a FitBit, but they seem so pricey! Your feedback is appreciated!
Put 75# in a backpack and walk up and down some minor hills
