I’m back on the P90X wagon. Last year I started P90X but half-way through shifted my workouts to a more intense weight program. My goal changed from the year before, where I stuck religiously to P90X.
Last year I wanted to gain more muscle mass and as a result added 17 pounds to my 5’10” frame. By hunting season I weighed just over 200 lbs. for the first time in my life. As expected, it had it’s benefits and drawbacks. The benefits were added strength, which helped immensely when packing/handling elk in the backcountry. The biggest surprise came during wilderness horseback hunts, where I’ve never felt so solid and secure on a horse.
As expected, the drawbacks of added bulk came in the form of quicker muscle fatigue and lack of flexibility. Face it, no matter how hard I try, my 47 year old body isn’t what it used to be. And though it felt good to reach my personal goal of bench pressing 350 lbs.–something I hadn’t done for 11 years–the bottom line was I wasn’t in as good of shape as I should have been for many of the hunts I undertook last season.
The year prior, when I got through P90X two times, I was in the best hunting shape of my life. Low body fat, good flexibility and stamina were at an all-time high. Not since those college football days had I felt so good. That’s what I’m strivingto regain this year.
My New Year’s resolution is to get through P90x twice before August 15, when our hunting season kicks-off. I want to lose 17-20 pounds. On many days I’ll be doing two workouts, P90X combined with running, biking, jumping rope or more intense lifting. As the year goes on, the workouts become more intense due to gained strength and stamina, which allows me to do more.
Diet will of course be a big factor in this transformation and my wife already has our entire family on a highly nutritious food plan that is heavy on fish and game, high in vegetables and whole grains with limited sweets.
It’s never too soon to start working out for next fall’s hunts, especially if there are some hard ones coming up. I invite you to join along in my workout routine and let me know how it’s going. We all share the same goals: To live long and healthy lives, have fun and find success on those tough hunts. Good luck!
