Right I'll fess up to having given British Military Fitness some money... About 2 squid for the app they've made for the iphone. Couldn't afford the gym anymore and had no desire to spend a tenner working out only once a week in those big gangs so I splurged on the app. Me and my pal do it 2 or 3 times a week in the park (you can bluetooth a number of phones and receive instruction together).
It's not sado military shouting. It's just a series of randomised excercises. You can set intensity and time limit. I like it because I've never been great at selecting a wide range of excercises or bothering to see them through.
It hauls me around in the mud a couple of times a week, it's free (once you've got the app), I have had knee injuries which are helped by the many and various lower trunk sets. And... I'm getting fitter by doing it and by riding further.
Still feel like a proper nana if I'm doing it on my own and it's asking me to jog on the spot and I wouldn't fancy the bibbed up posse's. But the app's alright if you can't face the gym.
