Ever Heard of Military Fitness Training?
Posted by Andre on 27 Apr 2006 | Tagged as: Exercise
Around the U.S. and UK (and I guess other countries too) there are these military style fitness training sessions popping up… normally run by ex-military folks.
It’s for the general public… those that want a different scenery to what you find at the local gym.
These fitness sessions are normally held in public parks or community centers.
Well… the other week I found out that the place where I play squash once a week also do this crazy military style circuit training.
Anita and I attended last night… 
WTF!
I’ve been going to gym 4 to 5 times per week for the past couple of months now… but I wasn’t ready for this!
It lasted 60 minutes… and let me tell ya, it was the hardest and longest 60 minutes of my life. I thought I was fit doing over 4 hours on cardio on the cross-trainer at gym per week… but nothing could prepare me form this stuff.
This morning I’m battling to bloody walk… let alone bend down to put shoes on. Arms, legs, head, fingers and toes — all freakin in pain and agony.
If you’re looking to spice up your weekly fitness sessions, go find a local crazy military style fitness group and try it out. You’ll love it… seriously! 
Oh, so that’s why I didn’t join the Marines.
In the US it’s called Boot Camp and I wish there were one near me, I’d try it. It definitely looks intense!
I wanted to do it once a week but there’s no way I can manage that. Maybe I’ll just start with once every fortnight.
[…] I’ve been trying to achieve this particular mini-challenge for the past few months. Today I finally did it. Maybe it was the Boot Camp training last night that’s confused my poor body. LOL! […]
[…] Managed to go to gym 5 times this week. On Wednesday was my 3rd time doing the boot camp fitness training. Although I’m a lot fitter, this was the hardest one yet… […]
[…] Andre tackled the challenge of getting fit head on, even doing military fitness training and intense weight and cardio routines.  I know I’m inspired by the dedication Andre has displayed. Congratuations on your accomplishment! […]
