Don’t eat
all the pies
‘TIS the season to
be merry – when
those of us who are
lucky enough not to
have to work over
the festive period
can meet up with friends and family,
enjoy an eggnog or two and ruminate on
what we’re going to do with yet another
jumbo pack of M&S socks or hankies.
For serving soldiers the Christmas
holidays also call for a little restraint –
and not only when it comes to falling out
with annoying relatives.
As our Need to Know section (page
22) rather depressingly illustrates, in
calorie terms just a few extra nibbles
here and there can literally equate to an
extra mile or three on the treadmill.
Thankfully, we’ve managed to
unearth some great tips that will allow
you to enjoy a little over-indulgence
while stopping your physique becoming
distinctly Santa-esque.
It may not all be welcome reading but
you’ll thank us for it when you have your
first soldier conditioning review.
The rigorous twice-yearly fitness
check that’s being introduced early next
year (page 12) is described as one of
the most important PT changes in 20
years and will place a lot of emphasis on
strength, endurance and mobility.
Enjoy your mince pies!
