    during summer i walk around the woods with a map finding something new or something to do like fishing and during winter i ski and sometimes pull a pulk
    sometimes if i´m bored and feel like it i might pack 25kg of weight on my daypack and go for a jog but honestly keeping in shape sounds like something people who work at desk jobs all week would say
    also my condolences to anons who really do work behind a desk

      I fix helicopters as a job and truth be told even I still make an effort to keep fit. There's a lot of walking and a decent bit of lifting involved but definitely not enough to actually be fit, only just enough to not be unfit. I don't always get a chance to go out for a decent hill walk and when I do go I want to make sure I can enjoy it properly and I know I won't be enjoying it if I feel like shit cuz I was acting like a fat c**t for months before.

      Same. Every 3 or 4 months I change my routine. Right now it 20 minutes on the heavy bag followed by a full body circuit routine. I’ll change it in January, probably to something more cardio heavy.

    A high aerobic capacity most certainly makes PrepHole more enjoyable. It opens up way more options to you - you see and do more in less time. Plus it feels pretty empowering running past hikers on the uphill.

    Trail running doesn't get much love on this board because it mostly contains out-of-shape larpers.

    You're also more likely to meet an PrepHole girl via trail running than through conventional hiking. A lot of people say they love hiking but do they really...? You can't fake being into trail running. You either can do it or you can't.

      Throughout the years I've made a handful of trail running threads on PrepHole and they never got over 50 replies tops.
      It doesn't get too much traction, pun intended, with PrepHoleists but tbf some people just want to chill in the woods and don't enjoy feeling like throwing up after going up some fricked up terrain steap hill.
      Also trail running got really popular at some point and it was pretty onions so understandable PrepHole was not found of that homosexualry.

      I do like trail running but i notice it leads me to focus more on the running and less on the landscapes around me.

      True, you don't have too much time to look at the views when you're focused on not breaking your ankle. That said the cardio gains you make from it are great and make a fast paced hike feel like a breeze.

        Probably because it's 90% running 10% trail. There's not much to talk about except the PrepHole side and maybe what shoes to wear.

        And to prove myself wrong. Any recommendations for a trail running bumbag. I can't stand the sweaty back from a camelpak. Or are the chest rigs really better?

          I post my trail runs in the running threads on PrepHole and nobody there seems to care either. They’re all about 5k PRs and “how do I start running”.
          Dunno when the trail running threads were around here but it sounds like it’d be a comfy slow thread (ignoring the inevitable trolls) given there aren’t too many of us.
          There’s more to talk about it people are willing to share, show, and tell. Kind of like the fishing threads.

        Trail running is the ultimate PrepHole larping for these reasons plus trail runners tend to be extremely rude to people actually out there enjoying things and can't seem to ever remember who has the right of way on the trail. There are trails where maybe this lame shit should be outright banned. Go run into traffic.

    I think it’s best to just do the thing you’d like to be good at. Want to trail run, go run on trails. This is what I do in the winter to build and maintain aerobic capacity so that when spring comes along those big days don’t kick my ass.

    That said, my PrepHole endeavors are just a fun way to supplement and improve my lifting. I’m in the gym 5x week, and do not do much running or hiking on heavy lower body days. The two things taken together seems to work well, but on days with a ton of elevation gain, I can definitely feel that I’m carrying around useless weight in the form of upper body mass.

  17. 1 year ago

    You mostly need cardio for PrepHole activities, but strength is always good to have too.
    The basics are keep your bodyfat in a acceptable range (e.g. don't be fat. Seriously, hiking as a fat person is misery) and do occasional cardio (even talking walks every day is enough, just fricking move you lazy pig).
    30 minutes of moderate walking (not even running or walking fast) a day is already something at least. Then get your heart pumping around 3 times a week (over 120 bpm average heartrate for a time of 30 minutes) and you are already "good". Add some lifting to that, especially functional lifts and stuff outside of machines (so you train more different muscle groups) and you are golden.

    But most important is consistency, so find something that you can actually keep doing. Really enjoy riding the bike? Do that. Really enjoy swimming? Go swimming. Don't enjoy any sports? Combine them with something you do like. I ride my bike to my fishing spot or I walk to a coffee shop in the town over to have a cup of coffee. That way I have a reward and still do sports.
    Otherwise a good low maintenance system is:
    Daily walking around 30 minutes or other form of light activity (You should already do this). Can be combined with meditation or music/podcasts if your ADHD stricken mind can't handle the silence.
    2-3 times a week gym visit, doesn't havae to be long, with lifting and a cardio session either before (for warmup) or after (if you somehow prefer that).
    Combine with a halfway decent diet (don't be autistic, just eat a moderate amount of protein, try to eat whole healthy and preferably seasonal foods, cook for yourself/your family and keep an eye on caloric intake. Healthy fats if you can help it.)

    Most important thing is to keep your ankles and knees happy, strong, and healthy and have full range of motion on every muscle from the hip downwards. You also need butt and core strength for good posture and to carry a heavy pack.

    3-4x week cardio (rucking with 20 to 30lbs is less taxing on your knees than running, and also more practical)
    3x week mobility (ankles & calfs, hamstrings, hip flexors & quads, outer hamstrings & glutes, inner hamstrings & groin)
    3x week strength (tibialis, calf, hamstrings, glutes, abs, back, and forearms, wrists)

    The nice thing is the PrepHole stuff I love helps keep me in shape. I like to bike to places when I can, day and night hike with varying amounts of gear. Sometimes I will do a day hike in the local park with a bigger pack just to get a little extra time with it. At home I do calisthenics and dumbbell work as well as yoga. I don't expect to get ripped but I eat well and as a result am leanish. Most importantly my joints feel good and my recovery is quick. It always concerns me when friends join me for something like this and need a day off (or two!) from something I now consider a daily activity.

    Hike with a heavyish pack. Go to hardware store, by bag of gravel (rocks about 1/4" to 1" in dia), sand bags used for floods. Put 10lbs of rocks in several bags. Put however many you want in your pack. Go PrepHole for the day. Repeat, add weight as you get stronger. Builds core, hip and leg strength.

    Run.
    Get out and run once in a while.

    Lift
    Lift a few times a week.

    Eat real food.

    Started to backcountry elk hunt a few years back. Have iterated my way to this. I live at 1000 ft, and getting into shape using these things has helped me a lot. I have packed out a couple of elk in the last 4 years solo with 80 to 100 lb packs (quarter, with partial camp and gun). I can confidently hunt up to 6 miles and 3000 ft elevation change from the truck. 10000-11000 elevation.

    I stop by the Y most every day after work to swim for an hour during the winter, rollerblade most afternoons during spring, summer, and fall (and at the rink on some Friday evenings year round), and I do some trail biking. I don't consider trail biking real PrepHole. I do extensive stretching daily to stay limber.

    For PrepHole purposes I kayak/wade/fish, swim and body board in the ocean on occasion, and of course hike and camp, and these do give you a fitness boost.

    Never go to the gym other than the Y pool during winter.

          i remember this post from PrepHole you're from new orleans right?
          running outdoors for you sounds scary, if the nogs don't shank you, the humidity will.

          do you have room for a treadmill? (we've got a sole f80 and it feels almost gym quality; was like $1300.. but so worth it)

            Yeah, I’m still here. Jogging is incredibly difficult because of the weather. It doesn’t cool off at night during the warmer months; it’s pretty brutal. The pic is half of the room. It’s a converted garage and roughly 22x11, so there’s plenty of extra space. When I set it up I didn’t have a treadmill, but my boomer father in law bought us one on a whim. I think it was like $800. We didn’t even ask for it. It’s sort of tucked away on the other side of the room. My wife uses it but I rarely do.

            Is a punching bag worth?

            Yes, absolutely

            >never boring
            You can just mindlessly through punches if you want, but that’s about as boring as a treadmill. When you try to LARP as a boxer, following actual drills and paying attention to foot movement, it becomes much more interesting. Also, if I do heavy leg exercises I’m too spent to do any significant cardio involving my legs. But if I’m doing bench or OHP I can still run through a 25 minute heavy bag drill.

    Hundreds of pushups and hundreds of bodyweight squats every day. Swimming 2 miles per day in the spring and summer months. Punching a 100 lb heavy bag with gel wrist wraps and 14 oz boxing gloves 1 hour every other day. Walking as much as I can every day, up and down hills too.

    In a week:
    (3x) 1 mile/1.5km walks for these two 40 lbs kettlebells. Not allowed to put them down, so it's swapping between Farmer's Carry and Rack Carry on shoulders.
    (3x) Jog three miles the next day.
    (2x) 10 minutes of burpees and 10 minutes of kettlebell (30lb.) clean'n'press.
    This adds up to ~2 1/2 hours of exercise a week and it's functional for moving through /out. A recent hike in difficult terrain and up steep hills was a complete joke. Back in the day I'd have been winded and struggling. This was one of the proud moments of my life, to so clearly feel vast improvement, both physically and mentally. Never figured I'd be one of those fit dudes who glides around trails but it was surprisingly easy to get here. Just 10-20 min of being tough each day.
