Fitness gear? A set of stairs. Use the lower three steps to do repetative up and down walking like you do in a Gym on a bench. Want to increase your Abs? Lie down on the floor with your arms stretched out behind your head with a tin of baked beans in your hands or any full tin for that matter. Then...

I'm signing up because I've always had an interest in the Armed Forces. However South Africa's armed services are S H 1 T! With a capital S. Above and beyond that is a desire to serve people.

Huzzah, best 5k time is 19:38.4! I'm a rower myself and let me tell you, the lactic acid endurance (anaerobic?? endurance) you build up on an ergo meter is second to none. They are the devil incarnate. If you have access to one and are looking for some great exercises, PM me and I'll set you straigh...

I am also heavier than most because I have a larger frame. My comfortable weight should be around 83-8...
