I try to make fitness play a big part of everything. Survival is great, but living period is a lot better and more enjoyable when you are fit.

My routine is based specifically on the things I do at work or play. Cardio such as treadmill intervals and plenty of rucksack marches keeps me Army fit as well as fit for hunting season. Keeping the feet conditioned for walking is uber important for me so the more marches I do the tougher the feet get. I’ve got thick enough skin on my feet from all the marching that I never get blisters and I could probably walk across hot coals if I needed to.

I also have a bow flex and love the damn thing (ultimate 2) one of my favorite exercises is to pull back a rod with each arm as if I am drawing a bow. This keeps those not used much muscles in top shape for bow hunting season. My bowstring is so much easier to pull back because of this.

I top it off with as much swimming as I can fit in, and plenty of hitting the old heavy bag and grip exercises so I can drive my fist clean through an attackers face and then rip out his still beating heart the next time I am required to use self defense. I have a good stretching routine as well, and this has kept a more than a few injuries at bay.(especially now that I am pushing 30)
