I feel I have a good basic level of fitness to start my career as a postie but I'm not complacent. Any advice on exercises or tips to help me get into the swing would be appreciated thanks :crazy:

Walk.

No seriously start walking with no load at a fairly fast pace, but not competition walking. Start at 6 miles a day and then work it up to 9 - 12.

However, this is more for your peace of mind rather than getting you fit. The work will make you fit in fairly short order.

If you don't want to walk, but do have access to a gym then stamina work would be best, in fact, some of the exercises you could do on your own at home. http://www.hintsandthings.co.uk/bathroo ... ercise.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
