sorry forgot i cant edit just now

tue= 30 mins crosstrainers at level 2..10 mis precher gettin heaviers then donno what the name is but 3x10 of holing your self up as if your doing dips but bringing your knees up to your chest

 

on a sat im doing a 1.5 mile run on the beach switching from the hard to the soft stuff constantly

Hey mate, dno about the army, but i do the Bleep test in the RAF.

 

Id recommend Interval training. no matter how good or bad you are at cardio, this will work you 100% (obviously dependant on effort)

 

Walk 40 seconds, Jog 20 seconds, Sprint 10. Is a good place to start and just tweek it as you go along, but if done properly it will shape you up for the 1.5 mile as thats inbetween a sprint and a jog (conveniantly). If that doesnt suit you, just do the mile and half round a track, and just try and better your time.

 

As for pull-ups you do isnt it? just do that excersise as thats the most direct way to gain in that area without going into toning and strength building. The easier it gets, ust hang weights from your waist.

 

Same with situps, just do situps.

 

This is what id do anyway, hope this helps.

cheers hollings but when im on the cross trainer/treadmill/beach 2 mins walking pace 2mins sprinting 2mins jogging so one and so forth for the 20mins

i recon i can do the 1.5 in time(my best when jumpd up on energy juice is 12.13without im about 13mins.. but id rather be able to do it easily if you know what i mean

Yeah, i wouldnt get using energy drinks, cause while doing the 1.5 mile run you will burn it and if you crash while running, you wont feel to good.

 

Usually on the treadmills you can put in preset workouts like graphs, which change the speed or incline while running which is always a plus, as i find when doing it myself each time i go for the sprint, it gradually gets slower haha.

 

Always make sure you have a slight incline on your treadmill aswell while running like 1%-1.5%, it removes over extention on your knees or somin, but have been told its a priority when running on treadmills.

 

Running at incline or even walking is a well known way of burning body fat.

thats cool i got my first choice of avionics tech on my barb test but iv chosen vma..less pay and more action but thats how i want it

Well if your main goal is to lose weight, then its all about the cardio. More exercise = more weight loss, so dont concern yourself with overtraining unless you are doing a marathon everyday!

 

Weight loss is simple - Burn more calories than what you eat. Training in the gym with machines are good, but no where near as good as a decent 30min-1hr run/cycle/swim.

 

Diet looks good :) lean fish, chicken and eggs are your superfoods

cheers m8ty not looking to do a marathon just wanting to increace my fitneess 10 fold before my basic training starts

i actually make a point when im eting eggs to just eat the whites pita tbh but ...

I've served 9 years in the Army mate, firstly to do the training you need to eat correctly and toast is not the way to go. You need to eat a proper balanced diet of real meals. No need for energy drinks, water is fine and a coffee an hour before training is very good due to the caffeine.

 

In terms of times etc I dont know your age so the entry standard may be different to what i need to get. The trick for the test is endurance, you need to do the test relatively easy so you need to training over distances of +4 miles a time, if you can do this at 80% heart rate then you will find the test easier.

 

There is a lot on google for improving and im sure the army gives you a guide on how to improve prior to turning up on day 1. If you want more advice mate let me know. But interval training is the way to go. I sprint 100 meters, jog 200 meters for a total of a minimum of 3 miles.
