But I do have 8 years and 4 stone on you :P

that'd probably be why then! im probably younger than alot of people on here?

can't help it eh, im still pretty chunky for my age :D

& i suppose so, it just seems like a long time to wait. :(
but i dont know, i think hes just trying to push it cause he knows how much i want to be there - also i shuffle around like a lost person when im not exercising..

Trust me! Once you get that date to go to selection time will fly and you,ll be wanting longer to prepare!! But once you get there all the ifs and buts are gone and you know the time scale! Then it will fly even faster im sure!! I hated my job which is one reason I applied...Now im in its made my job more enjoyable as it doesnt matter any more :D

im not a natural fitnes person! But I wanted this bad i made it happen! Im sure u will do the same easily! Your time is good so no panic!

As above your time is good. But if you want to improve it then yes id suggest more cardio. Swimming is an excellent way to improve stamina as well as general fitness.

Everything you need can be done at home as well with no need for a sometimes expensive gym membership.

**Lukie...** · 27-06-2009, 21:55

I agree Calyx...I have got fit by running lots...and attepting chin ups to no avail on the climbing frame down the park! all i have invested in is a decent set of running shoes!

**Calyx** · 27-06-2009, 21:59

Same... I had a worn pair of running shoes and decided to invest in a new pair to the value of Â£25 i think so not even very expensive. Thats all you need a decent pair of shoes lol. I work on a building site so my source of gymnasium was scaffolding and cement bags :D

**amxpuddy** · 27-06-2009, 22:05

thanks guys

.
i do alot of swimming.. i can do 15chinups reptitively, my runtime isnt THAT bad.

does anyone know how much your supposed to be able to lift weightwise or anything like that?
sorry for all the questions, my rec officer is pretty useless..

**Calyx** · 27-06-2009, 22:08

I think weight wise depends on what your going for so im pretty unsure of that one.

Erm i know different regs require different Bergen weights but again unsure on exactly what they are :( Pretty useless myself when it comes to that Lol.

When have you got PH1?

Jerry can carry= 90 metres unless infantry or RE which is then 150metres...That was a peice of piss!! and for bench lift thingy i think it was 42.5kg unless infantry or RE which was 47.5kg...this was Blokes figures and im sure female ones differ! You,ll have no worries!

eh 42.5kg - is that it? ah ill be fine then, thanks mate.

i think ill stick to running in the gym though, since i hate running outside alone - and i dont know anyone who lives here that'll run with me.

where is everyone going for PH1?

**Calyx** · 27-06-2009, 22:31

HaHa

hmmm thats true.
most of my friends like to look at men run ;)
but after having to go through it all myself i look at them and think - he wants to collapse, hehehe.

i prefer doing exercise with other people, im not much for spending time on my own.

**Lukie...** · 27-06-2009, 22:37

I,m going either Pirbright or Bassingbourn! Waiting to hear! Should know next week I hope! Treadmills are nowhere near as good as roads! I cant get on with them...plus adsc runs arent on a rubber belt! Been doing lots of hill running to improve leg strength and stamina!! I quite enjoy it too for some reason...

I run on my own a lot of the time...Quite interesting as i think about random tripe for 30 minutes lol

**Calyx** · 27-06-2009, 22:51

Lmao at Lukie's random tripe comment :P I know exactly what you mean!

AMX Am i correct in presuming your a woman? Or do you just have strange friends Lol?
