Detox with an Army fitness programme?

It’s tempting to use one of the new fitness manuals based on the programmes developed for Armed Service recruits to recover the strength and stamina you lost somewhere in the brandy butter. But remember that in the Services you’re checked by a military doctor before you even start, then at regular intervals to make sure you’re still fit. Even military doctors can get it wrong, and we have a lot of military compensation claims where the wrong medical grading has resulted in tabbing with a bad back or deployment with PTSD. So before you go for the burn, make sure your doctor agrees you can do it.
