Proper physical training that approximates the types of conditions and equipment that you will use cannot be emphasized enough. Running in full kit for any distance will take the breath out of you quick. The last thing you want to do is run to the sound of an explosion or gun fire with an energy tank on empty and have to wheeze your way into your first mag change. Go on short runs of one to two miles with a 12 to 20 pound weighted vest. Work your way up to using wrist and ankle weights. Do some pull ups and sit ups. If you cannot do any of those things you are behind the power curve and will need to get there. People will count on you to be able to physically do the right thing. Do not let them down.
If you are overweight, cardio and no carbs is the key. Getting in shape is like a bicycle in that you need both wheels of diet and exercise in order to run it. One without the other is a losing battle. It is just that simple. There are more ways now than ever before to get healthy and in a fighting shape. Take advantage of it now while you can. It is slow and painful but looking good naked is the byproduct.
