Looking for some advice on equipment.

Post by Cronkilla »

I live in the city and there usnt much of a place to run without a looking like a moron or b getting ran over.So im going to still run say 2 times a week but hire some CV equipment from www.fitnesstakeaway.co.uk who seem to be doing a good over.The thing is im unsure of what to get a rowing machine or a running machine,i heard a rowing machine waud benefit me more than a treadmill but im unsure.Anyone know what wauld be better ?

save your money, Cronks.
Get a Hi- Vis vest from a builders merchant if you don`t want to get ran over. Cardio-vascular training? Get advice from a gym. You need to run more than 2X per week.
Good luck,

Aye,

Same situation if you ever get based at Stonehouse barracks in Plymouth.

You NEED to run.

If neccessary run somewhere so you can go for a run

If you don`t, you ain`t gonna make it.

good luck

If you really must invest in a machine then I would recomend a "Concept !!" rowing machine, costly though plus £1000.
This works complete body .
Regardless what you will probably not be cheap, so why waste money on kit unless you reckon you are going to be coming home a lot to use it.
Probably be better to buy a bicycle then at least if you can't run why not cycle some where then run.
Running is something I can not stress hard enough that you have to be good at, you will certainly get plenty of opportunities to run once in, though why blow your chances of getting in, with pathetic excuses that there is nowhere to run.
You need to use your initiative to overcome these Hurdles, harder obstacles to pass and fathom out during BT.
Wish you luck sound like your going to need it.
