Start here if you are rebuilding consistency, returning to training, or preparing your body for more structured workouts.

This level is designed for hunters who need to build a foundation first. You may be newer to strength training, coming back after time off, carrying extra weight, dealing with lower conditioning, or simply needing a smart place to begin without getting buried.

Best for hunters who:

Have not trained consistently lately

Need to build basic strength and endurance

Want workouts that feel challenging but manageable

Need more confidence before increasing intensity

Want to prepare their body for harder training later

Choose this level if you already train consistently but need a plan built specifically for mountain hunting.

This level is for hunters who have a decent fitness base and can handle regular workouts, but want better structure, progression, and carryover to steep terrain, heavy packs, long days, and hunting fatigue.

Best for hunters who:

Train 2–4 days per week already

Can handle moderate workout intensity

Want stronger legs, lungs, and pack-out ability

Need more hunting-specific conditioning

Are preparing seriously for elk, mule deer, bear, or backcountry hunts

Choose this level if you already have a strong training base and want a more demanding plan built for serious mountain performance.

This level is for hunters who are comfortable training hard, recovering well, and handling higher intensity, heavier strength work, harder conditioning, and more demanding progression. This is not where you start to prove something. This is where you go when your body is ready for it.

Best for hunters who:

Train hard and consistently now

Have solid strength and conditioning

Recover well from demanding workouts

Want a higher-performance mountain hunting plan

Are preparing for steep, remote, physically demanding hunts
