Workouts for back country hunt

[adbaby]

Other than rucking with heavy weight, what other programs would be good to prepare for a multi day backcountry hunt in NM?

step ups with heavy weight.

Solid weight training program and the stair stepper. All you need.

I lift four days a week and stair step 5-7 days a week.

Find somewhere close to you with similar elevation and start going jogging there.

I’m pretty simple. Time under pack with the items I plan on taking and do lots of kb swings and goblet squats/lunges.

Been doing this from @Mark at EXO for a couple months and feel it’s been super effective at strengthening my knees and hips where they need to be for a backcountry trip.

I have come to realize being overly strong is not as advantageous as having solid muscular endurance and cardio. When I am “stronger” but heavier I suffer more on steep hills. Find the right balance for your body type.
