any help??

[darrenbownes]

I know this sounds stupid but I'm having problems reaching the level of fitness needed, I'm not sure on the best way of improving my fitness. Which would be the best way and the most effective ? Any ideas lads- would be really helpful ? :praise:

............yawn.

there is no secret we all know FFS!!

running! situps! pushups! pullups! pain! hardwork!

look on the rm website for a good fitness program, and for the targets for prmc.

The only thing i would suggest is just keep at it. Take small steps and eventually you will get there. Get a routiene going stick to it.

Best of luck mate

 

[darrenbownes]

Thanks lads, and mtw no need to be sarcastic I just need a little help thats all, thanks anyway.

 

[MTW]

seriously tho...what are you expecting us to tell you?

practice, hard work, and patience.....all it takes, keep it simple

just out of curiousity what stage are you at and how old are you?

Jump up 3 times, spin around clockwise twice, then counter-clockwise once, then go outside do some *text deleted*ing exercise

 

[darrenbownes]

I'm doing 60 push ups 50 sit up 12 pull ups 110 thrusts 40 elbow to knee and 1.5 in 10.15

 

[MTW]

id say just keep practicing with your pushps and pullups, your not that far off with them, id say keep on the 3 milers, and do them prmc style 12 mins for first 1.5. miles then under 10.30 for 1.5 miles, and id reckon you should aim to shave about a min from your 1.5 mile time ideally....how far are you allong with your app?

 

[darrenbownes]

I have only just started applying so loads of time yet. What time do you need to pass your mile and a half?

 

[MTW]

10.30 but only a handfull of people got above 9.50 on my prmc, i would definatly go for 9.30ish on both the PJFT and the PRMC in order to not stick out....people say a pass is a pass and all that bollocks, but in the with the marines you dont want to be the last man,or one of them.

 

[darrenbownes]

yer fair enough...and what's pjft??

 

[MrSkippy]

Aside from cutting down run time - you should be fine, and MTW is the tome of knowledge, so listen young padawan :P

Have a butchers at the Official RM website regarding the selection process. After you've had a good look around, by all means ask anything you can't find.

Alternatively, try the search function at the top of the page. The green bits in people's responses are links- click on them & you will find the answer.

Please don't expect to be spoon fed- you have to show some initiative or you will end-up getting short shrift.

Good luck
