My brother is joining the reserves it seems. He is a fit fellow (personal trainer, baseball player etc...) and has no problem with the strength department. But he hates to run. And Basic.... has some running. Now I've done Basic training myself, but I'm not Army. I was wondering if anyone who is/was Army had any tricks and tips I could pass on to my brother? Not even just about the running aspect either. thanks

Little woot, finished Basic Training this morning and didn't miss a single workout the entire 4 weeks! Rock on

Hi All, Its nice to find some sort of health community where I don't immediately feel excluded! The focus of this six week challenge is to focus on stopping the Garbage In, Garbage Out patterns that have been consuming my life. I almost stopped in the middle of the year, but over the summer went right back into old habits. This is not something I can do on my own :S So Goals! 1) Beginning Diet Allright, so I'm going to begin by cutting out soda and candy and have at least one paleo meal per day. Tonight, roast beef with spinach and horseradish. Also, thank god for black coffee. I got a Keurig machine for Christmas and it makes getting a coffee while gaming as easy as getting a soda. Also notice the lack of chips. Chips are my personal Melange, so I figure I will tackle them once the more egregious sins against health have been dealt with 2) Sleeeeeeep (and on-timeliness) I'm going to start getting to bed at 10:30 on weekdays. I said bed, as I usually read for a bit before sleep. This will allow me to get about 8 hours of sleep while allowing me to get up at 7 so I can be at work by 8:30. 3) Basic Training from Rebel Strength Guide - After work. Morning would be awseome but I have to work on the sleep thing first before I can adjust my hours 4) LIFE GOAL (side business) - Aquire inventory for online Amazon book store (finish deal I'm working on now, at least 2 scouting trips) Alright, thats my start Does anyone have any advice or thoughts, because I am always open to criticism!
