Saw them near Glasgow Uni the other day when it was nearly 30 degrees as I was on my long walk. I thought why would you do that to your body only damages it. Most of these people probably work in an office not on the front line. If you want to lose weight count calories using my fitness pal and get a fit bit and try and hit your goals.

Originally posted by MyUserName View PostHow often are the sessions? Could you do fewer per week to give more recovery time?
The sessions I found hardest were the ones where they pair you up and you have to, for example, do 100 sit ups between you. Lower back starts complaining on #6, but if you wuss out, your partner is doing 94, so you keep going.
I'll take a break, but try and keep some of the exercises going within my limits, and maybe get a bit more swimming in too which I've neglected of late.

Done 16 sessions - mostly enjoyed them, but lots of niggles - back pain, hip pain and shoulder pain, so thinking it's probably a bit full on for me. Quitting at the end of the month.

Originally posted by vwdan View PostNo doubt about the marketing, but I think they're all meant to be ex-forces. Obviously that presents some questions in itself - an Ex Para PTI is going to be somewhat more useful than someone who did a couple of years with RLC.
They've all served in the military, and they've all got personal training qualifications.
It wasn't like military training - it was very friendly and encouraging. You got a well done for managing 2 pressups rather than being shouted at for not managing the 5 you were supposed to do!

Originally posted by SpontaneousOrder View PostI don't know what's involved, but the fitness level required to serve in the British Army (BFTs etc) is appallingly low. That is for men in their 20s & 30s though.
I think the 'military' thing is a marketing stunt, but organised training in groups (outside) has gotta be more motivating than going solo for most people.

Running about in big group like they owned the place, screaming and shouting. They did my tits in.
