If you are soldier or someone who needs to do super tough-feel-like dying in the mud jazz, then this rant here  doesn't apply to you. The mental edge, and ability to push your body well beyond normal limits is necessary for you to not die. Having said that, it does need to be interspersed with periods of rest and lesser intensity training, but still, this rant is more targeted to Susan who decided a couple of years ago, that hiring a trainer would be a great way to lose weight and get fit again.

 

Enter Billy Biceps, who didn't quite make it in the Army, but has decided that, given that everyone in the military movies seems to be very shouty and loud, that Susan would appreciate being made to feel like shit a couple of times a week in order to get into shape. 

 

Now you may have heard me rant about my problems with constant high intensity training and the go hard or go home mentality. I've spoken on...
