What does everyone/anyone think about this fitness programme suggested by Beast...http://www.mfat.co.uk/rm.php?page=rm1. I am currently on week 2 of the POC programme.

James,

Thats the one i was on about, I just started week one of the POC one, i found those inclined pull ups are harder than they look.

I reckon the pre prmc workout should be alright for the first 8 weeks to get basic fitness and strength up then move on too more challenging workouts, i dont really want to overtrain, just end up injured and delaying training.

Crouchmaster T: Have you worked out what level of fitness you will be maintaining after week 8 on the PRMC Pre-Recruit programme?

I hope my calculations are correct

Circuit:
Press Up 35 reps x3
Sit Up 40 reps x3
Incline Pull Up 35 reps x3

Aerobic:
Run 40 min
Cycle / Swim 50 min / 40 min
Sprints 8
Pull Up 8 reps

I would say that is a challenging workout all itself. Let me know when you complete it and then say that is not challenging enough. I see it all the time where all these people devise their own workout programmes. I wonder how many of them stick with them right to the end or how many of them are full of hot wind and piss.
No disrespect to any of you that start a programme and follow it to the end. You have my respect.
Start a progamme and quit it after a few days or few weeks out of lack of determination? You're a ballbag.

Lance,

I didn't mean for it to sound like the Pre PRMC program would be too easy, if you keep adding on extra reps and longer runs it will stay challenging. I just meant i will design my own training program that will combine things like fartlek, gym sesions and circuits containing more exercises etc.

[Lance]

One problem I had with the routine is the Thursday that sprints are only done as an aerobic activity. I dropped this in favour of including fartlek on the runs instead. I found it much much better.

I would seriously recommend to anyone developing an exercise programme to include fartlek on the running activity.

Hello I have heard a lot about this 'Fartlek' but have no idea what it is? can anyone tell me?

Thanks

You've gotta wonder what Bootneck was searching for to find that.

look on the bright side, it saves buying a set of "Nut" crackers for christmas, just pop your nuts between her legs and...crack . make sure its not your personal nuts though, just the ones you get from ASDA.
I`d like to see these Women pushing their ASDA trolley round when they`re 60+, what a sight that would be.................not
