Fit, or Fit for the Purpose

[Arnie72]

For me my fitness has slipped significantly over the last few years of being office based - this is something I am actively starting to correct but it is a long road ahead.

I can walk for England, including with kit but ask me to run more than 100m and I'm buggered so its my cardio-vascular I am working on at present (swimming, running machine, rowing machine, x trainer).

I have always believed you need overall fitness - a lot of people either focus on cardio-vascular OR strength/endurance but I believe you need a good mix of both.

Personally I am trying to get to a similar mix as we had in the military so fit-for-purpose really! Now as to what the purpose is well that is a different matter! Is it purely survival postSHTF or longer term and maintainable is the question only you personally can answer......

Good luck to all though!
