Know your limitations while out working.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- After an 11-hour rescue operation Monday, the Sandoval County Sheriff's Office confirmed one hiker died and two others were rescued after being stranded in a remote area west of Albuquerque.
SCSO Lt. Robert Chavez said Jimmy Fish sustained a medical episode and collapsed during a hiking trip. Fish and the two other hikers began their trek in the morning hours and traversed eight hours in rough terrain. Temperatures hit the low 90s in the area.
Once Fish collapsed, one of the other hikers tried to phone 911 while other started CPR on Fish. However, those efforts were not successful, Chavez said. The hikers moved Fish's both under a tree while they waited to be rescued.
Crews began searching for the hikers shortly before 1 p.m. Chavez said one of the hikers got reception on his phone by climbing up Mt. Taylor near Guadalupe Ghost Town. An air unit found the men, and the two survivors were airlifted to safety around 6 p.m. A second helicopter recovered Fish's body around 11:30 p.m.
Fish, of Placitas, was the uncle of one of the hikers. Their ages have not been released. The cause of death for Fish remains unknown.

Needless to say, my take away from listening to him is that all the crossfit stuff, while good for you, doesn't map to what you need in the backcountry. Putting in the miles, breaking in your boots, and taking care of our feet is what matters (at least that is what I gleaned from it.) Ironically, yoga was one of the suprising things. I personally can't stand yoga and prefer pilates instead.
I don't mind yoga. I feel better after a while of doing it

I have a weighted 40lbs vest that I use quite often. Like others have said it doesn't compare to an actual weighted pack. My hip flexors give me the most issues when out west. I have bands that I do adductor and abductor exercises to help strengthen. Working on my masters degree hampers my ability to workout as much as I would like, but I do stuff year round.

My wife does barre and if you want a core work out or one that will hammer small muscle groups look up some of those workouts. I'm not a fan of Pilates because of the equipment involved but yoga and barre can be done anywhere with nothing.
I was not productive at work today, spent most of my time researching packs. Decided not to get one to just "get me through" till a hunt but save up and buy a quality one. Dang they ain't cheap!

Looks like you are putting in some good miles I did two hours of basketball Tuesday and took a knee to my right calf which kept me off the stairclimber but I must have walked three hours both yesterday and today each.

If you want to learn from someone who makes a living training mountain athletes, and not a writer. Check out Rob Shaul, here is a good one to start with. https://journalofmountainhunting.com...orthy-chassis/

Try "Running DT" you RUN, as in actually run hard a 400 between each round of DT, it is terrible. Dang it boy!
Originally posted by JTeLarkin08 View PostI'm about to head out on a 3-4 mile run then do DT.
Has anyone ever been to a yoga studio? I'm thinking about going to try hot yoga sat. I feel like I could use the flexibility and it should be a good workout in a 105 degree room
