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.
Superb book on fitness (don't let the hype fool you)Reviewed by E. M. Van Court, 2010-01-24
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.

Great BookReviewed by M. Feltman, 2009-08-14
This book has some great workouts but after the twelve weeks you are left wanting more.
Excellent workouts!Reviewed by Pontus Granström, 2009-08-12
I've used Mark De lisle book "Navy Seal Workout" and gained 7kg of
muscle rather quick! I loved the book, it's exercises, the style
and intensity! However doing the same workout over and over again
isnt good
so I decided to buy this book that he also wrote! I must say that
these workouts are excellent and has more information on training
the legs. It's great for muscle development to switch exercises and
intensity!
Since I've been doing the Navy Seal Workout for months I started
off with the Army Ranger workout and aim to complete that level and
then moving to a more demanding workout for the upperbody!
As always with these kind of workouts! Do no not underestimate it
even if it might seem like "easy workouts" they are everything but
easy and takes alot of stamina, strength and endurance both
mentally and physically!
It is the combination rather then individual exercises that leads
up to impressive results! As I've said I gained 7kg. The only thing
that is missing is information on what to eat after the workouts! I
recommend milk and bananas as close to the workout as possible, I
would also recommend to stretch after the workouts and not only
before.

Complete SatisfactionReviewed by Mack S, 2009-05-28
This is a great manual for anyone who wants to step up their exercise routine. The exercises and stretches are fairly intesive and you are definitely going to break a sweat while performing them. If regular calisthenics aren't enough, there is also an alternative weight-based routine as well. I highly recommend this book to any interested in the subject matter.
