Hi everyone.
I'd like to introduce myself.. I found this site by doing a websearch and so far I think it could be very useful for me. My name is Chuck Im 37 years old and trying to get back in shape to re enlist in the Army National Guard. 9 years ago I was in the guard and failed the physical training test and was blocked from re enlistment. Recently I set out to see if I can now get back in and found that if I do I will have 6 months to be able to pass the test or be booted out.
I want to do what I can to be able to acomplish this and have started working out at my local YMCA. Today I tried to do the simulation PT test run on one of the treadmills and found that I couldnt even run a mile before I had to quit.
I'm not really overweight by much but i am seriously out of shape..at least to me I am. I hope to be able to get help from this site to accomplish my goal.. again hello

Don\'t let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game

Welcome to the site Chuck. Hard work and a little will power can go a long way. You can literally re-shape yourself in 6 months if you stick with it. I don't know how experienced you are but browse the site and educate yourself a bit then there is a lot of help here.
