Im joining the aussie army soon enough, attempting to get into 3RAR (Paratroopers) then a year later 4RAR (Commandoes). Then my goal is to get into SAS selection (No hope in hell). But anyway, the point of this story is, im currently training to the beep test (also named shuttle run). Its a 20 meter run, which you have to finish in time with beeps which constantly get faster. I dreaded it in highschool, but its a good fitness tool. I put it on my phone and run to it every 2nd day, and the goal is to get a higher score everytime. Its an awsome way to get fit, although it isnt the most effective way of shedding pounds, but it has an awsome effect on your overall fitness. The only way to shedding pounds is cardio in combination with diet. If you have allready have a big frame with potential for muscle, do wieghts and cardio, your weight wont dramatically decrease but your fitness and strength will improve.
