Then you've come to the right place.  This site has the answers to probably all the questions you have, and maybe some you don't as yet have.  You will find all the answers by using the Search Function at the top of the page.  There are some posts of FAQs.  The Recruiting and Training Forums have lots of topics that cover any questions you have.

A good place to start is in the Recruiting forum and the Training Forum.

There is a wealth of information in the Training forum involving physical fitness.

Welcome to Army.ca, and good luck.
