Hi All,

I've got like 1.5yrs to go before I enlist. I'm wandering if its too late to start building and conditioning my body to the training. Can someone like recommend to me a Strength and Endurance Building which is progressive in nature?

In my sec.school days I used to be able to climb the low ropes element in SBO and with a dummy rifle using purely my arm power, w/o any assistance from me legs except during the beginning. My NAPFA/IPPT scores last taken when I was 17 is as follows: 2.4Km-10.15min, Shuttle Run-10.2sec, Standing Broad Jump-2.43m, Pull-Ups-9, Sit & Reach-67cm, Sit-ups-58.

I'm trying to regain or even improve my strength and endurance.

Thanks!

do more long distance running and swimming laps.

Strength - you seem ok but endurance - your 2.4 seem weak.

Endurance is also a lot on the mind. Will only build up only if you push your self, usually only in long distance running and swimming. Doing it under the hot sun will also make a lot different.

I thought you read books such as "US Navy SEAL training" or "The SAS workout"?

SpecOps87 SG

I mean my strength aspect, I hope to be able to be like last-time, using nothing but pure arm-power to climb. Swam today after lessons, ha, 22laps at the pool.First time in a loooong time man.

your results are above average liao, just train a little bit more, ippt gold is well within reach. but if you wanna excel more than just a gold, i suggest you go for triathlon and marathon training. here are links to our local fitness buff enthusiasts...
