Fitness Programs

[aks]

I'm wondering people's thoughts on fitness programs. Specifically ones designed for hunters.
What do you all like about these fitness programs?
What do you hate about them?
What would you like to see?
What would you actually PAY for when it comes to fitness programs?

I'm asking from a personal trainers point of view. Let's just say I can no longer stand typical gym culture and I'm looking for other adventures.

Thanks to anyone who replies

I used chatgpt to create a program for me after I told it the movements I wanted and equipment I had at home. Honestly it worked pretty good and was free haha

Really, it has to be a year-round approach, and multiple programs to follow the seasons and time of year.

Sept: elk hunting

Late September and October: workout: recovery workout 1, whole body

November: workout: deer hunting. Minimal time, whole body workout 2.

December - March: off-season program 1, workout 3

April - August: workout: mountain preparation program, workout 4.

I would pay nothing for a fitness program.
Gym culture is what it is, don't bother me.
Leave me alone or inject yourself into my world and then you will have to deal with me.
Train aerobic capacity, aerobic endurance, vo2max, actual strength & agility plus hike & ruck. Simple.

I'm 59 years old so I need to stay active in order to chase animals in the fall.

I do basic weight training, using light weights but doing the exercise until failure. That way I don't risk injury, but still build strength. Some of my exercises mimick motions out in the field. You know, like getting an 80 pound pack on your back and being able to still stand up. We hike year round. It might be scouting, or might be trying to find rabbits or a coyote. I also enjoy activities like mountain biking and skiing. Point is, I can't stop. If I do I'm screwed.

I don't subscribe to any programs. There's really no need. We are hunting, not training to be navy seals. Honestly, hiking while having something on your back is probably the single best thing you can do.
