Will passing IPPT ever be a fun thing?

[vincenttan]

The word Compulsory or Forced is very negative to begin with.

Can we ever have fun in passing IPPT? Mindef introduce Fun and Games IPT :o:o

I always enjoyed IPPT. Passing it was a breeze. I hardly worked up a sweat.

After being posted to the Mindef reserve list, I too do have fun telling the lads I miss doing IPPT and reservist.

PRs like us do not need to do IPPT

You may get the Fun when you are fit.
But you may fail when you are fat.

Fully agreed. I used to wonder why many are complaining about Ippt and why they are so lazy and not want to keep fit. Then due to my own neglect, coupled with aging, I lost my fitness. There was a stage when I no longer could complete a 2.4 km without stopping. The process of regaining my fitness was really painful. If not for my past experience of being fit, I think I would have given up long ago. Therefore, for those who had not enjoyed the wonder of being fit before, it will be really tough to become fit once they hit middle age. Usually only a life threatening condition may wake them up.

Fitness is really easy. 3km run 4 times a week, 20 chin ups and 50 push ups daily was all that I needed. I did my runs on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Chin ups was on a bar I set up on a doorway at home.

The runs kept me slim so the rest of the test like shuttle run and standing broad jump were never a problem. I didn't bother training for those.

Can you can think of ways to make chemotherapy more 'enjoyable'?

If not, why are you thinking IPPT is anything different?

You have mentioned the magic word "slim". For fat people, the knees would need to support so much more load when they exercise. As one aged, the knees will also start to give way. To slim down through exercise, we need to reach a certain level of intensity before fat can be burnt (about 5km in less than 30 min at least 3 times a week) It is very difficult for a fat person to achieve that. Many fat people do exercise regularly but they will not be able to burn away their fat. Instead their knees will be damaged.

I have gone through it. It is real tough, requiring a combination of strict diet and exercise regime to remove the fat without hurting the knees. Most would not have the discipline. Furthermore, the process is a very long one. However, once the weight is reduced, maintaining is easy. It is the initial phase that is difficult. Can take about 2 to 3 years.

The trick is not to get fat in the first place. Fat is nothing more than lack of willpower.

some neigbourhood CC also have free gym leh. why be forced to take lessons when you have work to do, potentially wasting thousands of dollars per year, n getting skipped over for a promotion or raise of of this compulsory. it's not "FREE" it's never free when familee is involved
