At age age 42 I think(quite modestly) that, that's not too bad for a PFT.

Okay it's just over a week, but 14 is two weeks....

do you think i can do part exchange on my body?

**Sparky2339** · 26-06-2009, 00:19

amxpuddy..

READ IT AGAIN!!!!

10:34..

I never said 10 mins 34 FFS :D

I said it's just over a week.

10:34 is 3 days and a very "lazy fraction" more than a week (7 days)..

Geddit?? :D

You're doing fine mate.

Mine was 12:30 (minutes) with hee haw training for a year, plus smoking and drinking like a demon.

press ups = 89 in 2mins
sit ups (all the way up n down) = 70

I'm a lard arrse. In my youth i was a cross county runner.

the trick is:

at age say 30, you need to do 50 of an exercise. When you start count from 50 down to 1.

much easier mentally and you'll do at least a third more than you think you can.

try it.

It's an auld trick mate and works a treat :D

I understand.

I'm still in my teens - i suppose i have time.
hmm..you seem to know alot so - i think i'll be cheeky and ask - i'm still pretty thin, even though i do alot of muscle training, etc.
how am i supposed to put on weight? (i try eating all the right food, but i just seem to work it off ?

- which i think is supposed to be every girls dream but.. its not really helping me :( )

89pressups in 2mins?
i think my arms may fall off - if so, you'll be owing me new arms!
(im only managing 65 ATM,)

not doing very well am i!

**mooony** · 26-06-2009, 00:37

i'd probably be able to do about 40 press ups in 2 minutes lol. I could do sit ups well just not press ups, find them hard for some reason.

I joined up at 9stone 3 which was the pefect weight for my height of 5feet 5n a quarter inches (165cms?).

I was like that even when I turned 21, 4 years later.

As a youth you will burn calories like a sailor spends money.

Size and bulk don't happen over night, but over years. Don't worry about the image or "current look" just be as fit as you can.

Lung fit my grandfather called it, hill fit they call it these days.

Long distance, whether walking, shuffling or with the speed of a thalidomide gazelle; it doesn't matter just get there.

Your mind will tell you you're rubbish, you'll "think" you're not fit enough.

Bollokks. get a training partner. When you can talk as you walk/run you're WELL on the way to being fit.

Muscular fitness takes longer and is a false image TBH.

Good luck.

wow.
i currently weigh 9stone5,
and i'm 5ft 7inches.

i suppose this is true,
i should look around for someone to run with,
although nobody i know is in the army, or is in any hurry to get fit,

i'll figure it out.

& Thankyou, you've been a great help. :D
