What is the best training for pack marching training for SAS selection?
Honestly Pack Marching itself is the best, use that as the base and mess with variables such as speed, distance and the weight you carry, so mabye some high intensity interval training combined with distance work and of course learn to carry more than specified.
Obviously dont go all out from the start, the key is progressive overload so when you adapt to a particular intensity up it a bit. A smart aproach will prevent injurie. Also the terrain you will be marching on wont be plesent during selection. So match that in your training as well, so you want uneven ground uphill and downhill etc. You need a good pack, make sure you take the time to make it comfortable. You need good boots to make sure you wear them in.
If you want to cross train at the gym you will be working on strength and endurance best to use compound exercises such as deadlifts, squats etc. Best to speak to the gym trainer bout that though.

Why cant you lose belly fat through weight training?
Weight training tones and builds muscle. It is not a calorie-burning exercise. Although abdominal exercise may offer better muscle tone , and thus straighter posture and sticking your belly out less, that does not actually burn belly fat.
To lose belly fat you must burn extra calories through aerobic exercise. If you are breathing normally and still a little short of breath, and your heart rate is elevated, THAT is aerobic exercise. Some types of aerobic exercise are jogging, swimming, bicycle-riding, rowing, even using a jump-rope. To be useful, you must keep your heart rate elevated for a minimum of 20 minutes.
For Example:
When first starting out when you haven't done a particular exercise before, speed up and slow down (such as jogging 10 seconds, walking for 50 seconds) to work in gradually. For a novice, this will still result in an elevated heart rate, and will lessen the risk of injury. After several 20 minute sessions, increase slightly the amount of aerobic exercise (such as jog 20 seconds, walk 40 seconds).
If you are not sore it means you are not going to get any bigger. You are just lifting to maintain where you are now.

Steroids are not good for you.. They make you look better, but they are very unhealthy.
When a guy takes steroids, they may start devolping boobs, and it makes their penis smaller. :P. no joke.
When a girl takes steroids, they have to opposite affect, guys begin having girl features, while girls on the other hand begin to grow facial hair, and bigger bone structures, they look like incredible hulk. So if your a guy and wanna look like a girl, or, if your a girl, and wanna look like a guy, go for it.
