    Hi, no-one can tell you how long it'll take you to get fit as everyone is different. Start slow and build up with any fitness training or you are more likely to get injured, which will really slow your fitness progress down. Download the 100% Army Fit app and this should help - it'll design a fitness programme suitable for you and encourage you with your fitness! Good luck.
