This book is amazing, it helped me get into
the best shape of my life! This book is not for the faint
hearted though, but for those who are serious about fitness!
The program centers around cardio conditioning with lots of
swimming and running! I have completed several Military Fitness
programs and this book is one of the best! If you have the
drive, the Navy SEAL Workout can change your life! When I
was 17-18 yrs old, I could run a 7 min mile and I thought
I was in the best shape of my life. I was an All-Provincial
(Ontario, Canada) track & field athlete in the 4x100m
relay and the 100m sprint. My body fat was about 11% or 12%
and I felt good! That was then, I am now 30 yrs old and can
clip off a mile in under 6 mins, my body fat is around 10%
and I feel better than I ever did, thanks mostly to this book!
You get a feel for what the SEALs go through in their training
and a great appreciation for physical fitness once you're
done the program! Aside from the fitness aspect, this book
is very well written and easy to understand and use. I can
appreciate fitness oriented books, I am a writer myself (Backyard
Sports for Kids) and this book receives my full endorsement.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is serious about
getting into the best shape of their life! The U.S. Navy SEALs
are among the world's best and they certainly live up to their
motto, "The only easy day was yesterday!"
