    PTIs - are they all lazy, preening gits?

    As many know, I underwent some pretty major surgery 9 months ago. I was downgraded for 12 months post op. Understandably I have put on some weight due to not being able or allowed to exercise. Now I feel I am able to exercise again. I want to get upgraded on time (early is not an option) so that I can deploy.

    So I ask the PTIs in the gym if they can help me come up with a programme that will help me lose the weight, tone up and improve my stamina that has suffered whilst downdgraded.

    The answer? "Just jump on an exercise bike for a while, or use the Cross Trainer, that'll do what you need". Is that the best these guys can come up with. No programme, no guidance, no help? Isn't that what these guys are paid to do? Now, I know there was something good on the TV in the office, but FFS guys, do the job you're paid to do!

    Is there a dedicated fitness training programme for 'shims'?

    Go and see Q muscles. They are usually more clued up than a GTI.
    I hope all the politicians who were depressed and stressed because they got caught fiddling expenses are feeling better after their 3 months off.

    I bet the lads in Afghanistan were worried sick about them.

    Ah, just stop eating pies and start eating toilet paper and black coffee.

    being an intelligent type I'd have thought you could taken about 20 seconds to work one out yourself

    PTIs are preening wasters, however if you turned up in your Lycra and pink leg warmers you probably had him questioning his own sexuality, they're a funny bunch

    Does your bum look big on an exercise bike?

    I think you should fess up.

    Yeah....Keep out of Burger King & McDonalds.

    Stick a Bergan on your back & get out in the cuds & start knocking out some miles. That'll get you fit in no time.

    Or if you really want to get fit quick,
    ask Sandy The Guvnor, if he'd be kind enough to give you a good beasting.

    That should do the trick!!! :D
