I'm 31 years old and will be venturing out for my first backcountry elk hunt next fall. I've been on a few elk hunts, but never anything that could be considered extreme. I've always lifted and stayed in decent shape, but I don't think I'm in mountain shape. I would like to get into some type of training routine that doesn't involve only weight training. Free time is tough to come by these days, but I would like to incorporate some type of high intensity cardio into my daily/weekly routine, along with weight training. What are you flatlanders doing to get into (and stay) in mountain shape?
I live in North Dakota, so going for a 5-10 mile hike with significant elevation gains will be impossible. I could go hike around this hills on the weekends, but during the week I'm pretty much limited to the gym or a set of 72 steps near my house. Once we get some snow on the ground I'll strap on the snow shoes and pack and find some hills. Any other ideas?
