• Mandatory PT: Need anything more be said?
  
• PTIs: Speak to your PTIs. Other than having them run along behind you with a megaphone to shout thoughtful encouragement, they will have a host of useful tips.
  
• Leadership: Lead by example. Remember that you can’t expect others to maintain their fitness during the winter months if you’re not.
  
• A long hard look in the mirror: Ask yourself if you’ll be comfortable to take your shirt off and go for a run when summer arrives. Now’s the time to get motivated.
  
• Self esteem: Look good, feel good. Knowing you’re in top form does wonders for you.
  
• Goal setting: Put yourself on a training program and have achievable expectations.
  
• Training partner: A good training partner will encourage you to train a little bit harder each session, and give you extra motivation to turn up to the gym or for a run.
  
• Join an indoor team: Indoor sports are an excellent way to meet people and get fit, and include the added benefit of having a host of training partners to encourage your attendance.
  
• Take up an new sport: Try before you buy. Perhaps this year is the year to have a crack at biathlon skiing or indoor tennis ...
  
• Join a civilian gym: Some people find they’ll feel compelled to use it more if they’ve paid for it.
