Customer Reviews

Good workout

The previous reviewer wrote that terms like "dirty dog" weren't explained. If he had read the descriptions under the exercises he would have found the exercise referred to as "dirty dog" and even the "donkey kick." I like the workout, it's a plan I can actually follow. The exercises are simple and tough. Getting in shape doesn't require complicated machines and workouts. Simplicity and form are what you need for any effective workout.If you have any other books in this series, you don't need this one. I don't, so it works for me. All military workouts will have a similarity. A previous reviewer mentioned the similarity of this and the Navy SEAL workout in this series. There should be since Navy SEALs are the ones who design and implement the physical education program (P.E.P.)at the Naval Academy. There may be better books in the series, but I think this one will fulfill any of your needs. Ask yourself what you want to look like and find the program that will take you there. This one will get you fit (which is all most people want to be).Get the book if you want a good workout. The nutrition information is lacking, but that's okay.I disagree with the previous reviewer who said the workout is too tough for beginners. Any one can use it. You may not be able to all the reps in the 6-week plan, go at your own pace. Take a look at the exercises and think of how many reps you can do. Do as many as you think you be comfortable with. After you're done with a full set of these exercises go back if you think you haven't done enough. Know your limits.

In Shape

This book has me in shape for the first time in years. Thank you for the detailed approaches to each workout!

It was a excellent book

I thought it was a excellent book and it really helped me to get in shape when I go to join the Naval Academy. I am very commited to getting in the Naval Academy and making it as a Marine Pilot. I loved this book! I would recommend this book to anyone who plans on going to the Naval Academy or just wants tips on how to get in better shape. It is an excellent resource and especially if your planning on going to the Naval Academy. If you are plannning to go to the Naval academy I would also recommend "The Naval Academy Canadiate Book How to prepare, How to get in, How to survive" also an excelent resource.
