Eastmans' Get "Hunting Fit" Challenge

1) Current - 234
2) Goal - 205
3) Other Goals - Compete in as many 3D shoots as possible this year. Compete in a local Sprint Triathlon in late summer. Spend more time on the hill hiking and scouting this year for elk.
4) Strategies - Hitting the gym 3 times a week for weights and stair climber, running, biking and swimming once the weather warms up on off days from the gym. Eating much better and at regular intervals. I eat the bulk of my calories after 4 oclock now and need to eat through-out the day.

current 220
goal 195
start running walking more with my new hunting pup,cut back the winter calories

1)225
2)205
3) I want to run a couple of 5K's with my brother!
4) I am working out with my daughter who just started volleyball!! Headed to the gym three times a week for an hour to get back into working out then I will up it to four or five days a week. Looking forward to this years hunts because I am finished with school!!!

1) 250 (I'm 6'5" so don't judge!)
2) 225 ( Don't know if this is obtainable, by Ryan insists it is)
3) Run a couple of 5Ks and a 10K with my wife this summer
4) Been slowly getting back into the grind of things, but its a process. Never been a runner of any sort, and the thought of running makes me uneasy, so this will be a big hurdle to cross. I will be lifting and lots of cardio as a workout but my biggest setback is FOOD, I love food and have a wife who I swear is related to Betty Crocker.

The biggest difference is to change your running style. Research "pose" running on the internet, in the beginning it is a killer on your calves, but you won't have any pain in your ankles, shins, or knees. Switching styles was a complete game changer for me. Best of luck!

Thanks for the info! I've been watching videos about chi running which seems very similar. I'm definitely a heel striker and step way out in front of my hips which is causing my problem.

1. Current weight- 160
2. Goal weight- 160 (not trying to lose any, Im a little guy as it is!)
3. Other goal- Beat my time of 1 hr 35 min in a half marathon and run my first marathon with 8 min miles or better. Also squat 225 for a set of 10.
4. Stratgies- Weight train 3 days a week, running/biking, hills and stairs, sprint workouts.
