What do ya'll do to get the body tuned up for deer season? Personally Ma and I walk a couple miles just about every day and soon we'll start adding some hills to the walks. Often times on decent fall days we'll hit some of the regional parks with hills and trails. This year I'm going to toss parking ramps in the mix. We've got tons of parking ramps here in town what with Mayo Clinic and some of these are ten stories. What better place to walk when the weather stinks.
I hunt on a mountain more or less and use switch-backs to get to the stand. I have lung disease and have the trail pretty much down pat as to where my stops need to be. Thank God I have a couple of inhalers that help my lung function while walking and climbing or all I'd be able to do is read about deer hunting. Still, daily walking is a must to maintain lung function for me and sometimes stairs are too aggressive, but walking the inclines found in those parking ramps seem to not be an issue. Ma enjoys the public library [as I do] and while she snoops I do the ten stories of the attached ramp twice, then join her. I'm in shade and I stay dry if its raining. Any others here have some tricks to staying in shape?
