Starting fitness.

Consult your doctor first if if in doubt as to your suitability to exercise. I will start adding some exercise plans so keep checking in from time to time. Aim to stay fit for life, feel good and enjoy food treats without feeling guilty. Once you get into shap you will never look back. Personally I feel great most days simply down to being fit and strong. I personally will exercise for ever more as should we all.

Royal Marine Fitness

When getting into fitness it is important to set goals. So have a think about what you want to achieve in a set period. More will be discussed later. An example of my goals given to me during my time with the Marines whilst on annual leave. Don't try and do this with out tons of training or you may injure yourself Weekend: 4-6 miles steady run, no faster than 6.40 pace. Monday: cv work Bike, rower, stepper, swimming.....at least 45 mins Also include press ups, sit ups, pull ups, squats and jump lunges. Do 10, then 9, then 8 down to 1 (pull ups do 5-1) Tuesday: 5-6 mile steady run, finish with press up, sit up and pull ups. Wednesday: swim work and climbing rope work Thursday:4-5 mile fast run, finish off with press up, sit ups, pull ups. Friday: day off, good stretch. Drink lots of water....always stay hydrated. Repeat once per week. This may sound tough but marines will have to do much harder things like the 30 miler which is one of the commando tests.
