    6 hours a week in the gym mate.
    It'll keep you grade 2 at the very least.

      It's a dilemma alright! Way too cold to go jogging these days.
      Swimming is pretty good for all round fitness.

        While swimming may improve your core fitness it won't be particualarly helpful to your soldiering on it's own...and shame on you it's never too cold to go jogging.
        What you need is a regualr routine of cardio vascular, stretching and light weights...hill walking and climbing are both excellent means of reparing for your military tasks.

          Oh and if you do go to a gym make sure you fork out for a fitness assesment and get the appropriate program laid out for you..theres nothing worse than someone who doesn't have a clue wasting their time and yours using machines improperly

            Hillwalking isn't a bad idea I suppose. Reason I'm against jogging is that I went for a run on the Prom in Salt Hill last week and nearly ended up in casualty with Hypothermia, it's desperate weather at the moment. Normally its the perfect place to run but you'd want to be insane to attempt it now.

                I'd recommend Hillwalking as well as keeping your fitness level up, its good practice for your navigation skills.

                  If you want to get fit, you have to incorporate a 5 different facets of fitness.

                  Diet
                  Strenght
                  Aerobic fitness
                  ?

                  Can't remember what the others are but the basic idea is that you do a bit of everything to get overall fitness. Its' like saying there is no good being physically very aerobically fit if you have to haul a mortar over a hill. you need strenght as well.
                  The best thing to do is to go to a gym, get a fitness assessment from a "qualified" instructor, discuss your requirements and then see what he says. Make sure he is qualified by NCEF or other reputable association.

                      Sure, I can give the assessment... but it is a bit difficult to do over the internet:D

                      The body is willing but the brain is a bit fuzzy
