Others might have given up already after trying countless of weight loss programs, products, systems, etc. but got unsatisfactory result at the end. Or, are there still out there in pursue- looking for the right lose weight system? Can they, really, give guaranteed result?
Many might have been fooled and tried just basing solely from those flowery promises one has offered. Without proper guidance/advice one will surely jump in just to attain that lean, toned, and sexier body most are dying to have. We can't blame those people who have tried but failed. Who doesn't want to have that kind of body which can be the envy of others and interest of many, anyway? Most of us do, for sure.

But, success of those doing gym work outs still depends on many other factors to consider. This, of course, should be done together with proper diet. You will just be fooling yourself and wasting hours of your time in the gym if you can't give up the savory taste of fast food (I know a lot in my colleagues are like that). It is a hit for those who can spare some of their precious time just to frequent the gym. How about the others who cannot- like working moms?

That is why, this 16 week fitness training program has been developed.Make it to the end of level 4 (see below) and you'll have achieved the basic level of fitness required of a trained soldier.

Basic fitness is functional and begins with pre-exercises that prepare the body. These conditioning drills and exercises can be performed anywhere, require no equipment, can be used with large or small groups, and are adaptable to individual fitness levels.

For your warm-up, begin at the head and move down the body :-

•  Turn your head left and right, floor to ceiling, right and left; next, do head circles.
•   Do shoulder rotations to the front and to the back, with arms relaxed to the sides of the body.
•   Make loose fists and rotate wrists forward and backward.
•  Twist the torso to the left and right, allowing the arms to freely swing around the body.
•  Place both hands at the small of the back and gently rotate the hips in each direction.
•  Place both hands on the knees and make gentle knee circles in each direction.
• Place one foot on point and rotate the ankle, first in one then the other direction; switch feet and repeat.
