Are you feeling physically ready for the season?

Hey there, Upland Rookies ready to show off those skills as a pheasant hunter! It’s time to whip ourselves into shape for those grasslands and hills. Here are my top 5 exercises to get you ready for the hunting season: Start now, if you haven’t yet! It will be worth it.

Hill Walking/Sprints: Charge up those hills like a pheasant-flushing ninja! Hill sprints build explosive leg power and stamina, just what you need to navigate those inclines. Of course, if that is a bit advanced for you, start with some walking up those hills and pace yourself!

Planking: Hold that position like you’re waiting for the perfect shot. Planks strengthen your core, helping you maintain stability and balance while you hunt.

Squats with a Twist: Pheasants are sneaky. So, practice squatting and twisting, mimicking those quick, elusive movements. You’ll be a master at it in no time! Wingshooting, you’ve got to be agile!

Lunges: Give your legs some extra love. Lunges mimic the uneven terrain you’ll encounter, helping you move gracefully through the grasslands.

Shotgun Lifts (Just Kidding): Well, maybe not that one, but remember to exercise your arms and shoulders too. You’ll need them for those smooth shotgun swings! Dumbell or Kettle balls are a great alternative.

So, gear up, exercise up, and get ready to dominate those uplands this hunting season. We’re not hunting for a snack; we’re hunting for an adventure! 💪🦚 #PheasantFit #UplandRookieFit #HuntLikeAPro #GrasslandGladiators
