You are a backcountry hunter or mountain athlete. You spent the whole summer building and honing your fitness. Maybe you participated in our Fit for the Field (FftF) online conditioning course. Regardless, you’re into your peak season and you need to switch your workout system into a maintenance routine. Easy peasy I say. If you were a participant in FftF,…
It’s a busy time of year. I just got back from an antelope hunting trip and soon I’ll be heading out for elk. The antelope expedition was one filled with challenge, humility, success, and gratitude. Experiencing amazing people, beautiful places, and personal growth. It’s all in this podcast discussion.
Last summer I did a recap, but this year it’s a preview! The 2nd Annual Lifetime Hunter Online Summit will be taking place on Friday, July 7 from 6:00-8:00pm. It’s one of the features of the Fit for the Field hunter conditioning course and it’s always great fun for me to connect with members of our team. Similar to last…
As Lifetime Athletes, we play a variety of sports and we train in different locations on multiple surfaces. The shoes we select can make a difference in our comfort, safety, and performance. And there’s even a place for being barefoot! Gyms, beaches, fields, artificial turf,courts, tracks, roads, and trails are the terrain of The Lifetime Athlete. This week I’m providing…
A lot of the athletes I coach are outdoor lifestyle enthusiasts. Many are backcountry hunters. There are some questions that come up regularly with this population. Those questions are answered in this week’s content, which is being offered exclusively in video format. I hope you find some valuable information and let me know if you have any questions. Cheers!
Whatever your sport or passion pursuit, doing “the thing” is the most-specific activity you can do. But in many situations we don’t get to do said “thing” quite as much as we’d like. That’s when doing exercises that have a high degree of transfer becomes exceptionally useful. Mountain athletes such as hunters, hikers, backpackers, skiers (when boot-packing), and others need…
I love coaching, training, and rehabbing athletes of all ages, types, and abilities. It’s been my jam for 40 years. One of the athletic populations with which I work a lot is the Backcountry Hunter. I coach a lot of these athletes on an individual basis, but I also have the privilege of offering the Fit for the Field online…
Howdy Howdy! I hope you are having a fantastic day! Mine is indeed that because today I get the opportunity to discuss a topic about which I’m really passionate (honestly, there are a lot of those topics). As a self-acknowledged gearhead, I’m always interested in the functionality and ergonomics of equipment, and how that interfaces with human biomechanics. Let’s say…
The human shoulder is a marvel of design. It is perhaps more than a joint and is best described as the shoulder complex. This is because it is somewhat complex. Comprised of a shoulder “girdle” made up of your clavicle (collarbone), scapula (shoulder blade), and humerus (upper arm), the shoulder complex blends mobility and stability in truly unique fashion. That…
Howdy! I’m putting these thoughts together during Spring Break so if you’re on a trip, I hope it’s an amazing one. I’m doing a bit of a “stay-cation” mostly because I’m busy with work and planning to save some time off for later in the spring. Not long ago I did a little piece that was very well received within…
