Thread: General Fitness Upkeep

The thing I like about getting fit is that you only get out what you put in, there is no pussy footing around, excuses or easy way.

To get fit you just need to get your heart rate up as high as you can for as long as you can, that simple. A 10km walk up and down hills does nothing for your fitness unless you are just dordleing and don't push yourself. Most people would be surprised at how quick you can pick your fitness up by running 3 times a week for 15min if you make sure you push yourself to collapse. Only need to run 1-2 times a week to maintain.

You would be surprised at how big of a difference it makes to speed walking around hills with a pack on. Having an active job doesn't make you fit, most farmers etc don't realise how unfit they are until they run 5km with a person who does a small amount of cardio.

Well it works for me, I'm far from an expert though.
