Training for the outdoors

[Grizzly Adams]

Just kinda curious how many of you guys out there train for the outdoors? And if so if you have any programs or anything you’ve found helpful. Turned 44 this year and am overweight. Figure it’s either time to start getting my poop in a group or just accept not being able to do the things I’d like to do. And the latter is not an option
So basically just looking for advice and motivation

I step on the scale every couple of days. If the number is bigger than the last time I eat less and exercise more.

Ride my bike and walk with boots on. A friend gets so wore out wearing heavy hunting boots because he wears the lightest shoe he can find the rest the year…

I fill my backpack with all the things I would have in it if I was hunting the backcountry for elk, including a full camelbak of water, and hike along the trails along 1806 or out at harmon lake. Usually keep them around 4-5 mile hikes.

As Twitch mentioned, rucking is very popular and effective.
