Too sore to hunt from working out

[Winx]

I once pushed too hard at the gym the day before a hunt and I could barely walk, I have learned to time my workouts better.

Gym gains don’t help when your legs refuse to obey on opening morning

Gym?!?

Yeah, pre-hunt workouts are a gamble, sometimes your legs win, sometimes your stand wins...

Gym?!?

You don't use the gym?

For many years I owned a business fixing and servicing electric/mechanical exercise and PT equipment (not weight stacks) across two states. I didn't care too much for the environment. I called them the "meat market." My tool case was sufficient for my exercise. Or carrying in boxes of replacement parts.

A classic memory: "This expensive ($500 Proform treadmill) shuts down after 15 minutes at 6mph or more." There are four of them plugged into a single outlet with adapters and 16ga extension cords. The belt is worn on the underside and the weave frayed meaning high friction. The user is huge and running the machine faster than comfortable so they hold on to the handlebars and make the machine tow them at the speed they think is exercise. But the unit says 2.25hp. Fix it! We spent good money on these machines.

Sounds familiar, people often push machines past their limits, turning treadmills into tow trucks instead of proper exercise equipment...
