 BEST IN ITS CLASS! May 4, 2008

I have read two other books by the author (Neal SEAL workout, and Master Level Fitness) and this is by far his best book to date, and I rate it BEST IN CLASS. There are so many "SEAL" fit-type books in the marketplace and I have read them all, but this is the very best of all of the ones available to the reader. The book is well-organized, is broken up into separate workouts depending on which branch of service you want to emulate. Workouts are progressive and even though most are based on bodyweight calesthenics, there is an alternate workout that combines weights with calesthenics.
Overall I am very pleased with the book and it was worth the wait.

AWESOME book!! You don't have to be a Navy Seal, Army Ranger, etc. to enjoy this book, or to utilize the information in it. The author puts it all in easy to understand terms, lots of pictures, and thorough descriptions of all the exercises. From begginer to camando, this book will help you out, get you in shape, and make you feel better physically and mentally. He even includes workout forms to track your progress, and charts to lay out the perfect plan for you.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in improving their health, look and feel bettr.
Superb book on fitness (don't let the hype fool you) January 24, 2010

This is an excellent set of workouts. They are mostly body weight exercises, so relatively cheap to do at home, but there are a number of weight routines to suppliment them.
It would be easy to get wrapped up in the Special Ops hype or equally easy to be put off by it, but once you actually read past the brief descriptions and histories of the various military units, the book settles down to a first rate discussion of fitness, a set of exercise routines based on different special operations units and their specific needs, and thorough descriptions of all the exercises. The book is written for a 'user's level', so there is not a lot of sports medicine or detailed anatomy, but this makes it easier to use (for me).
The most important point I came away with was that you do not need to spend a lot of money on equipment or gyms, you do not need to join a club, and you do not need a vast range of exercises to get into shape or stay in shape. You need the perservence and the self-discipline to make exercise part of your daily life, and the strength of character to avoid cop outs like "it's boring", "I couldn't get to the gym" or "it's hard"
This is an excellent program for someone who does not have any medical issues, but wants a clear roadmap from where they are with their fitness to where they can go.

This book not only goes into all of the exercise routines used by various special forces, but also helps you to plan a workout schedule to measure your progress. The book also goes in stretching and warm-ups, which is sometimes neglected by people exercising. The background information on the different special forces is also very interesting.
very nice book March 11, 2010
