To be Fit… everyone
needs to be just that “FIT” not over grown
with muscles neither blubbering with fat. You have to
find the balance and the following will information will
help you to get fit.
Being fit can help you out in more than a few ways. It
can help you be physically ready incase war breaks out,
as well as get you in shape to avoid any diseases you
might face a few years down the road.
It s better if you do the following in groups, you and
a few friends that could help create an atmosphere of
“team play” and later on close cooperation
that might lead to “TEAM formation”.
Step One: Warm up and Cool down.
A warm-up should include some running-in-place or slow
jogging, and stretching. It should last five to seven
minutes and should occur just before the P.T. (Physical
Training) or muscular endurance and strength part of the
workout.
Step Two: Basic training.
Run (walking won’t help) for 20-30 minutes after
stretching out, try as much as possible to make it on
leveled ground, no ups and downs. Once you get to 1⁄2
the time you are willing to run do the sets that are in
the table below, each set has to range from 5 to 25 repetitions,
it’s important to do the same amount of repetitions
in each set.

Step Three: Intermediate training.
Here we will be running further and faster or you can
replace faster by longer which ever fits you. Running
time has to range from 30-40 minutes including the sets

on running.

Keep in mind it would be better to start up with step
one rather than jump straight to step two, and remember
“frequency” (number of times you train in
a week) can make A LOT of difference. The more you train
the better. The best would be to apply this on a daily
basis, remember that you HAVE to train at least twice
a week.
For more advanced training just combine the basic and
intermediate steps.
If you do have access to “gym” equipment
the following charts can help you make out what muscle
groups can be trained with what exercise.
