I should have known that trying to sell the benefits of a reasonably active lifestyle to most members of the RAF was a futile exercise.
I'm not suggesting that anyone should become this
meat head that SRENNAPS describes. Only that individuals should at least aim to be able to pass the
very basic fitness tests required by the RAF - Maybe then you could walk between the couch and the fridge without sounding like an asthmatic rhino with a head cold.
I won't add any more to this thread. I'll just let you sedentary types keep making every excuse why you should continue living like sloths whilst believing that you are the only ones working bloody hard.
ps. I'm not a 'gym freak' or a 'paronoid fitness person', I just recognise the benefits of trying to keep active - both in professional terms and overall lifestyle terms.
