    Cardiovascular conditioning, for instance, through running, is important but not enough. It needs to be supplemented with training for strength and flexibility as well. Exercises for muscular strength and endurance include push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, squats and lunges. Incorporate stretching exercises into your training regimen.

    Do not just bend down to lift a load, or squat to lift a load as the excessive bending of the knees increases stress to the joints. The correct way is known as the weightlifter's lift. Stand in front of the load with your feet apart and bend at the hips, instead of the knees, as you pick something up.

    We agree that it will be hard to quantify the Dollars And Cents of all these. There are other factors in play as well.

    We like to thank all our fellow NS men and their families and girlfriends for supporting the guys while they are or were serving their fulltime National Service.
