Whether you're chasing elk in the mountains of Colorado, or waist deep in the Chesapeake Bay waiting for the next flock of sea ducks to pass over, hunting can be hard work. While the hard work is always worth it, this training will help make it seem just a little bit easier.

While I spend my days coaching in the weight room, my weekends for the past decade have been spent hunting and fishing nearly every state east of the Mississippi (as well as several to the west). Through these experiences, I've learned that it takes more than just a gun/rod and some camo to be successful. Sometimes succeeding in the field means you have to be able to walk further than others are willing to or carry more weight than they're able to.

If you're looking to make your next trip afield just a little bit easier, this program is the right place to start. Each workout is centered around building general strength and conditioning, helping build a well rounded foundation. While it isn't always easy, it will 100% be worth it.

FAQs
What should I expect during each training day?
Each day you can expect a mixture of strength training and conditioning, helping build both abilities at the same time. Some days require more of one than the other to help keep the body guessing.
How long will a workout take?
It can vary slightly depending on the person. Ideally, the strength portion of each day will take 30-45 minutes while the conditioning portion should take 20-40 minutes. The goal is always to be done in just over an hour.
