I recommend getting a dvd/tv set up in front of any static exercise machine (and infra-red/radio headphones too), so you can watch stuff while you train. Really helps keep it up.

You have to prolong the ending of the game for quite some time to get the stats bug, but after working so hard to build up an uber soldier it was pretty annoying when he became useless.
