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.
