Training for the army
Ok this is different to anything i have done and also is different to anything i have even posted about (with the exception of asking if i should join or shouldn't i join) but i was wondering if anyone could suggest any sort of training i could do to get ready for the army?

I am basically looking at training 5 days a week (maybe with going for a run on a Sunday and maybe swim on Saturday, so i guess you can say 7 but only the 5 is definite )

So come guys if you know what i should be doing then please post away and i will do it. oh and i know i need to be running and to get my body fat down but at the minute what i have done is cut my calories and just basically gone for the healthy eating option.

So if there anyone on here that maybe able to help

Cheers Guys

Re: Training for the army
Morning run followed by circuit style training IMO.

Build up your endurance slowly, isn't it 1 mile in under 15mins for the army, or 1 1/2 mile???? shouldn't be a problem tbh for ya mate.

Re: Training for the army
Army Personal Fitness Test 2.4 km in 10:30 (Recruit Entry needs to be 11:30)
2 min press ups (44 needed)2 min sit ups (50 needed)

So, best to practice these tests once a week to monitor your progress.

Training wise I would recomend mon 3-5 mile jog
Tues Circuit training with lots of body weight exercises
Wed Rest
Thurs Interval training
Fri Circiut training again
Sat Fitness Test
Sun Rest

If you need any more help an exact training prog pm me your email address and i can forward one on to you.

Good luck mate, which regiment did you decide on joining?

Quite a contrast,best of luck whichever you choose.

As said concentrate on plenty of running and core exercises/circuit training

Re: Training for the army
So in the REME if i join as a aircraft Techi i could get promoted to SGT in 5 years they never told me that!

Also if i sign up for 4 years do you know how it works in terms of continuing with the service, e.g do i have to re-sign for another 4 years or do i just carry on with my service but have a certain time to let them know if i am leaving e.g have to give them a years notice or something????

Re: Training for the army
hello mate, I'm also jioning the army and ATM I'm Diong strengh training ( bill Starr) and max press ups once a week. I will eventuly start running every Sunday 1.5 mile in best time... If you can do the 1.5 miles to get in , you'll be fine ... They train you to get better and faster ... Doing some sprint intervall on the treadmill can be good . Ino I'm more intersted in BB and strengh ..... And hate running, but I will start running soon.

Also check out this site www.arrse.co.uk - army forum - loads of soilders to recruters to peaple wanting to jion .... Post your questions , I'm sure they get answerd

P.S
don't ask stupid questions like how to become a sniper etc becuase they will take the p!ss and recomend joining [3para] Call of duty clan , Lmfao.
