British Military Fitness

Yeah, but great food.

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.

To be honest, you'd still look a proper plum doing it with your mates.

Good of you to own up though, fella!

It is big in Brighton as well. It does make me smile as for an ex-soldier this must be a charmed life.

But, at least people are outside and not in a gym? The bottom line is people are fucking lazy. I'm guessing they need Sergeant Shoutalot to get them sweating?

I used to do circuits and its great exercise, so hopefully this sort of thing will help the unfit.

We do as it happens. Strength in pairs though. It's basically just a couple of blokes doing circuit training.

pfff - the running about, doing a few push ups and working up a sweat is the easy part - the real fun starts when you come to the realisation that the next two years of your life are dictated by the base whims of some mouthbreathing, barely literate, double-y-chromo pituitary case who left school at 16 who's idea of a good time is watching you vomit up a helmet full of bilharzia ridden water while he kicks you in the solar plexus. the sharing cold shower with 300 strangers in the middle of a field for six months is fun too!

/the army - don't do it kids!

Damn right. I've a mate who's Finnish and he did everything he could to avoid the old national call up when he was 18. Not fun.

hats off to anyone who breaks out from the british norm of inactivity and sedentary existence.

i am shit at self motivation, rarely do I do training rides on my own, and I very rarely do any self practice in yoga. instead I organise rides with friends and attend the gym 5 or 6 times a week for yoga and pilates classes. i pay for gym membership but as I am a tight bastard then hammer it and attend a lot to get value for money.

the people in the fluoro bibs being shouted at probably think we look like utter cocks dressed in lycra going round and round in circles in Richmond park. i would rather people are taking some kind of exercise than not at all.

so some people chose to be shouted at by ex squaddies, i get cajoled into exercise by dubious hippies.

save your self the money and go up to a couple of coppers and tell them "You two fannies couldnt catch the cold...", spend the next 45 min sprinting - result!

£25 extra in your pocket for the pub

I had a seven year old girl break one of my ribs on Sunday.

Maybe I should indulge in some sort of fitness regime...

but for some people it can help give them focus. Not for me but it's good for some people.

luci

WTF?

you offering sweeties again, and got a kicking?

For once, no!

I'd had a couple of glasses of wine with my Sunday din dins, and the kids wanted to climb all over me in a post sugary-pudding frenzy. I was climbing off the carpet at a funny angle, with my elbow pressed into my ribcage and most of my weight resting on that arm, when Maddy decided to leap cat-like onto my back.
crack

"WHEEEEEZE! Getoffgetoffgetoffgetoff....."

Still riding though.

Maybe you should just be imprisoned for the public good.

ouch ouch ouch

mentioned on epic fail yet?

Maybe you should just be imprisoned for the public good.

It's a definite option, to be fair...

I have had a campaign against them in my local park. They spoil the place for people who want to enjoy some p&q of an evening

I asked the loud shouty blokes several times to keep to one part of the park (it is a very big park) but no they had to use any bit they fancied.

The pay the park people for the privilege of running a their business so I got onto the parks people and had them confined to 25% of the park. So whenever I see the sgt majorly bloke I remind him he is confined to quarters!

They always try and go where they agreed not to though, it is a permanent battle. If you forgive the pun.

ouch ouch ouch

mentioned on epic fail yet?

Not yet.

Not sure it's epic, really.

So feeble....

Whats better spending money on a gym and never use it, or spend money on something that might actually get you to the first level of fitness where you realise excercise isn't actually that bad? from what I've seen people actually seem to stick at it.

Judging fat/unhealthy people trying to get fit... classy.

Judging fat people in McDonalds on the other hand... classic.

They use public space, don't pay for it - they should. They once told me I couldn't walk my dog where I was walking him, as they were using it for running around. I told them to fuck off and have a word with the dog. They didn't. Pussies they were, for all the shouting.

It's just a gym class outdoors. For fuck's sake.

I'm sure you're all incredibly fit and active and work out without the need for extra motivation.

Yeah but it's shit. Rugby shirts with collars turned up and all that...just comically shit

My gym.

The identifier of a wanker.

I've seen this in a few places, never seen them instructing on correct form for some of the drills, just shouting.
