Hello, this is my first time posting here so I apologize if this is in the wrong location.
I plan on joining the Canadian Army as an Infantry Soldier by around September of 2010. However, I am worried that I will not be able to meet the necessary physical fitness requirements to do so, and I was hoping I could get some insight on how to start a good training program.
I am 18 years old, 6'0 and about 220lbs (give or take). However, this is mostly (I'm ashamed to say) accumulated in the form of abdominal fat (stomach and chest). My current workout routine has been somewhat erratic, but consists mostly of push ups, sit ups, bench press, arm curls, and cycling (I don't mark in distance but I cycle through Fish Creek Park for an afternoon for those who know what that is). I can swim though, so I guess that's a bonus.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.
