I'm not into gyms. I'm seriously considering a Bowflex. Any opinions on that? For years I've used a Schwinn AirDyne ergometer. Used properly, it's a full body exerciser (more or less) and I can get a good aerobic workout, using a heart rate monitor to keep me in my target zone. I lost my edge and gained weight after some fairly serious medical events but now I'm okay and can work on losing the extra 15 lbs I'm carrying. Right now, my heart rate is in the low 70s, but before my lapse it was in the low 60s, sometimes high 50s at times when I was really inspired or doing a particularly tough job. Some jobs are like being at the gym for 8 hours but with steep slopes, loose rocks, and dense, scratchy vegetation.

I don't eat red meat or pork or fried anything. Except for an occasional order of moron fries.

I use the Polar(tm) heart rate monitor F11 series. It will calculate your V02 max (maximum oxygen uptake) as well as your resting heart rate and it will prompt/remind you to do the test each month. The lower your resting heart rate, the better your cardio capacity. Last I checked my resting heart rate is was 51.

My V02 max was a suck-ass 24 one year ago. Today, I'm happy to say I sit at 41 for my V02 max.

Sounds like you have a very physical job, so be sure to take in the correct amount of calories because you're going to need that energy. Have you checked out the weighted body vests for training? They are great even if you just wear it around the house.

I'd assumed (and hoped) there was

Just wondering if anyone else is on a work-out/dietary plan to help stay in shape for the holidays?
I am in the process of getting in shape for the military and have been working out 4-5 times a week.
Any secrets anyone wants to share?

My work out hint would definetly be to switch upper body lifting and lower body with each day you work out. You don't want to strain the muscles while they're developing so taking your time is a must!

Ah hell, I could go on forever about training tips and hints and secrets. But most of my training tips and hints and secrets would only really help those that are going after fitness goals that are similar to mine.

For instance, the way I train would not be beneficial to a bodybuilder or an Olympic lifter or powerlifter. Just like the way a bodybuilder trains would not work for my goals. God I hate bodybuilders.

But in terms of the military, I got out just as the Army was starting to go back and adopt the calisthenics programs. From what I've been told by friends of mine that are still in, they HAVE gone back to them. Those programs are so much more than just simple situps and pushups. They're full body, working the core, etc. etc.

But as someone said on an earlier post, you're going to want to lean towards endurance.

I've been working out for the last month after taking a "vacation" for the last year.
The trainer gave me 12 different machines to work out on for a "total body workout."
Before I do that though I do 35-40 minutes on the treadmill at 3 mpg at a 3 degree grade.
And I do three (3) reps on the machines instead of just two to get 50% more of a workout.
My pants are getting loser. I was 235 lbs when I started but I have't weighed myself yet. People tell me I look like I'm losing weight!
I want to get down to 209 lbs my "ideal" weight.
I'm 57 (on the 17th) a disabled veteran and if I can do it anyone here can too!
I went to U.S. Navy boot camp in Great Lakes, Ill in 1970.
We did A LOT of running, pushups, situps, pullups and the obstacle course.
You should start running/ cycling to build up endurance/stamina/ cardio.
It's nice to be "strong" but if you can't run five miles what good will it do you?
And if you're 5'4" and 155 lbs you probably need to lose about 25-30 lbs. So, start the running or use a treadmill or stationary bike.
Don't worry about boot camp, just do what they tell you and keep your mouth shut. You'll do just fine!
And don't "look" at your Company Commander/ Drill Sargeant unless he/she tells you to!

Im at the weight requirement for my height.. I am cursed with a muscular build which means I am weighing more.. if I lost 25lbs I'd look emaciated.. my legs are solid ( I leg press 240lbs).
And thanks for a few more bits of advice.. I will definetly take them with me to ensure the easiest time with boot camp.

Oh, so you're joining the Air Force eh?
I have a cousin in the A.F. with almost 30 years in, E-9 Master Sargeant.
Almost all the men in my family joined the Navy or Marines except him.
I would imagine that you'll be going to Boot in Lackland, Texas?
Yeah, if you have a muscular build the correct weight could vary for your body type.
I was tall and thin growing up.
I definately wasn't the football player type but more the cross country runner type. I was 6'0" tall and 160 lbs in high school.
I asked the coach about football and he said, "forget it, you're on the trackteam, Stringbean!" "Come back when you gain 40 pounds."
They tend to stress endurance and stamina over strength in bootcamp so that you can keep going until the mission is complete.
Don't worry about bootcamp.
It's designed for you to succeed!
Just don't be a wise-ass or lollygagger. (Sailor talk for fuck-up or slacker.)

There really does need to be a forum for us alternative lifestyle folk interested in mutual support on issues of nutrition, health, fitness, exercise, etc, so I went and made one. Look for Alt.fitness (alt_fitness) over on Yahoo Groups. :)
