As long as you stick to a healthy diet and plenty of exercise, you can't go far wrong.

Follow the PRMC Fitness Schedule and include 3 CV exercises minimum.
Running approx a 3 mile route 3 times a week will be enough to get you started.

There's plenty of advice on training/execises within this section, try a search.

Diet and exercise, filter through the posts on here, nearly all the help you need is available. If you can afford to join a gym then do so, use their trainers for dietary advice and exercise instruction. Alternatively see the nurse at your doctors surgery, they have all the dietary advice you will need. If you are below 6'2" get used to being called you fat bastard.

Now you mention it, what is the min and max weight for some one who's 5'10" as I'm just under 5'11" (sounds better than 5'10"

). Come to think of it, is 5'10" tall enough?

James.

Of course 5'10" is big enough. Stop saying its not, you're depressing me, since i'm only 5'5"

And as far as i'm concerned, you're all fat b*stards, i'm only 68Kg

so, does anyone have any tips about how to grow an extra foot??? (height wise, not the walking implements

)

I posted ages ago about the troop officer recently based at CTC who was only 5'5" or thereabouts. He managed perfectly. But a full bergen can take 4" off your altitude!

Lack of udder juice when you was little.

I did have a chart around on height requirements vs weight etc, i'll have a dig around.

If got a height:weight calculator on my pocket computer thing, so if any one wants to know whether theres is good/average/etc then just ask.

Aye,
