The Guardian Newspaper in England had a series of articles last week listing how the British army assesses the fitness level of new recruits as well as the whole training plan to get the army in shape. There are lots of interesting pdf files that help you to see how in shape you are as well as a plan to get you in better shape.

Army Fitness test

Official British army training program

I looked through the workout and it is quite simple with weight workouts 2 or 3 times a week with cardio on the alternating days. One day of week is a rest day which I believe is really important.

When I say that the weight workouts are simple I do not mean that they are easy I just mean that it is only a few sets. I will be listing my simple exercise routine sometime over the next few days as well do you can compare the two.
