Are there any fitness courses or camps suitable to prepare one to enter the army?

I am considering entering the Australian Army, and would like to be fit enough to not be a burden to the team during training. Are there any courses or fitness camps designed to physically prepare people for entry into the army?Are there any fitness courses or camps suitable to prepare one to enter the army?Hi Tim,



You are going to want a program that focuses on high intensity exercises, and one that uses a lot of body weight exercises.



Start off by working on your general conditioning by getting in a good amount of jogging (believe me, you will be doing a lot of this in the military.)



Push-ups , crunches, pull-ups, swimming if you have a pool nearby (lake would be even better).



There are a good choice of books that deal with work-outs designed for the military that can probably be found at your local library, or some place like amazon.com. I bought one a long while back designed for people looking to get into the US NAVY SEALS



If you are looking for a program to do at home, look for something that focuses on the things I lists above. I posted a resource if you are interested that has some reviews of high intensity programs as well as some diet advice.



I hope that helps some



Good Luck!!
