I've read a few of the SEAL workout books that are out and I think this one does the best job of laying out a simple fitness plan for the average Joe non-SEAL. Some of the other books that deal with pyramids, levels and regimens are not adaptable to the average guy in a gym. Flach's book is brief, concise, describes the excercises and how to perform them pretty easily. What I like best is the chapter on the actual fitness plan. Where other books describe the exercises and leave you wondering, "What do I do now???", this book lets you determine & categorize your ability level-- then outlines a M,T,W,Th,F,S schedule you can easily follow. It's good at letting you know what to do next... unlike some others that outline the Navy's PT regimen and make you spend time deciphering it into a plan you can bring to the gym.
 Pretty good workout book, but also pretty basic... April 18, 2006

If you're interested in military fitness, you will find the exercise regime in this book to be quite unique and effective. This book is geared more towards those of us who did not go through any sort of military boot camp yet are facinated specifically by the elite US Navy SEALs. This book provides a basic, progressive workout program (push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, dips, running, swimming, etc). I was slightly disappointed to see how concise this book was in terms of workout routines, but there is enough provided to develop good workout systems. There are other Navy SEAL books out there with much more in-depth info, but some of those books are meant for more "hard core" people or individuals actually interested in becoming a SEAL. I don't know about you, but I'm not trying to be a SEAL. I just wanna stay fit. With that said, I enjoyed this book and I generally do body weight resistance exercises over weight training anyway simply because it's more convenient and less straining on the muscles, joints and bones. You can do most of the exercises demonstrated in this book just about anywhere (no gym membership required!) and these workout routines can be performed by youngsters and grown-ups alike (not recommended for the elderly however). This book was good reading and it helped me fine-tune my prior workout routines. I recommend this book. Hooyah!
correction about the PST pull-up requirement February 1, 2006

The authors say that the Physical Screenig Test (PST) requires 8 pull-ups. This criterion should read, "minimum of 6 pull-ups", not 8.

Like most military workout books there is a lot of pushups, situps and so on. But this book adds in variation pushups, abs and leg excercises that most of the other books lack. I have several other books that just show pushups and a few ab excersises but not enough to make a whole workout from.
Another big thing I love about this book is that it doesn't just give you one workout. There are several completely different workouts. If you don't want to do the walking lunges and squats then just do the routine that is mostly upper body and cardio.
