Hit yourself repeated about the head with a large sledgehammer until knots and calluses have built up all around, and you don't feel anything? Sounds pretty practical to me!

Answer 4

Take a visit to your nearest medical aid broker.  Take out a very good medical aid.  After this, visit your nearest bio-kineticast and request that he/she provide you with a programme.

Answer 5

Stay away from the pub, eat healthily and basically sty in shape with jogging and other excercises. You don't want to be tired before the season starts!
