    When I was at Uni in the TA some bright spark decided it would be a good idea for us to go and do a visit to the Royal Marines training camp.

    F*cked was not the word. I am convinced that I did die.

    Yes - I have to do: -

    3 sets of 10 lunges on each leg.
    3 sets of 10 squats
    3 sets of 10 on each leg where I put my foot behind me on a bench and squat backwards
    then a load of hand weight repititions while moving on my exercise ball

    I'm aching like **** this morning!!

    It's all good though - I think I finally understand the importance of building up muscles, aswell as doing cardiovascular (thanks mostly to some of you lot on here actually).

    No, it's definitely a squat.

    Step forward as far as you can bringing your trailing knee as close to the gorund as possible and keeping a perfect 90 degree angle with your front knee. Hold it for 5-10 seconds and then step up and forward into another lunge.

    Walk round the room like this a few times and it will kill you. Amazing how hard such a seemingly simple exercise can be

    Actually, that's one of the exercise I graduate to in weeks 5-8

    Started an 8 week exercise program yesterday to build on my fitness regime <angelic smilie> and some of the muscles I used last night mustn't have been used in years, cause my legs felt like they were going to give way when I tried walking down the stairs afterwards!!!

    Anyone else on a fitness regime? (It's a popular time of year for it!)
    Just think how excited your fiance is going to be when you lie him down and show him your new squatting ability!!!
