Archery Fitness Training – 4 Tips to Quickly Improve Your Conditioning

Recently I was searching to see if there were any new articles about Archery Fitness Training.

I found it amazing that in a sport that has been around for centuries that there is so little information on how to exercise or strength train.


Being an avid golfer I found the difference between these two sports amazing,  if you were to Google the term "Golf Fitness Training" you would find hundreds if not thousands of results with quality articles about getting in shape for golfing. Can you believe that … there is more information to improve your golf swing than there is to improve your aim or draw weight.

Where Are The Archery Fitness Training Programs?

Unfortunately, Archery is a minority sport when compared to Golf or even Tennis. What really amazes me is that so few strength coaches have developed strength training programs for Bowhunting or Archery. Most Archers have realized that being in better physical condition can make dramatic improvements in our ability to aim and shoot.

If you have not yet started an exercise program designed to improve the muscles used in Archery… what are you waiting for!

There are some articles available mostly by Archery coaches that prescribe an exercise program. Usually it is simply a sport specific training program. However, doing just sport specific exercises for archery is not enough. You must workout the entire body in order to get maximum results. Typically these coaches recommend programs that are designed more for bodybuilders than for Archers.

To get the quickest results we must utilize training protocols such as:

* Interval Training

* Circuit Training

* Muscle Confusion

* Isometric exercise

These training principles must become a part of your Archery Fitness training program if you are ever to improve in the sport.

Would you like to increase your strength for archery in as little as 7 minutes… 3 to 4 times per week?

Archery guy @ 2:02 pm #

I am looking for something that I can do each morning that might take like 10 minutes or so. To increase my archery strength and draw weight.

I am not looking for any full all out workout.

Just something that I can do each and every morning and maybe evening before bed that will help strengthen muscles for archery.

I understand I will not be getting something that will allow me to pull back all kinds of extra weight or anything. Just want to maintain my current strength and maybe even in 10 months when the season opens my current 65 pounds will seem a little lighter. If it helps I am 43.
