Special Ops Fitness Training: High-Intensity Workouts of Navy Seals, Delta Force, Marine Force Recon and Army Rangers Review

Special Ops Fitness Training: High-Intensity Workouts of Navy Seals, Delta Force, Marine Force Recon and Army Rangers
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
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.

This book's charm and uniqueness lies in its easy manner, logical organization, and the inclusion of exercises that develop agility, balance, coordination and stamina. Since the vast majority of fitness books focus only on aerobics, resistance training and flexibility and overlook these very important skills, this was unexpected. It makes a GREAT addition to anyone fitness library.

Navy SEAL Breakthrough to Master Level Fitness Review

Navy SEAL Breakthrough to Master Level Fitness
Average Reviews:

After having quadruple bypass, open heart surgery, I thought, "What could this program do for me?" How about a new life! I originally purchased Mark De Lisle's first book, "Navy SEAL Workout." The results I experienced were nothing less than phenomenal. As soon as I found out that Mark had completed "Breakthrough To Master Level Fitness," I had to have a copy. Breakthrough blows away anything else I have encountered in the fitness market. I have purchased other Navy SEAL workout books and videos but they were either too incomplete or did not sufficiently layout an effective program. Breakthrough however, contains exercises for upper body, legs, cardio workouts, sprints, long distance running, abs and plateau breakers such as Burn Outs, Intervals, and Circuit Training. And with 12 Weeks To Better Than Ever, which lays out routines on a day by day basis, you can't wander off the path to improvement.
With the 12 Weeks, I simply took the evaluation test and checked off each day. The routines were laid out right before me. It even told me when to do my burn outs, intervals and circuits. With the new book combo, I have been able to take myself up another notch. For a middle-aged business executive with heart disease, I need every edge I can get. I highly recommend this book combo over any other SEAL/fitness exercise book or video. Thank you Mark De Lisle, your program is saving my life and dramatically improving my lifestyle.

Navy SEAL Physical Fitness Guide Review

Navy SEAL Physical Fitness Guide

(More customer reviews)
This is by far the best book of its type I have ever read. I have read or reviewed a variety of books on SEAL training and this one is the best in its explanations of how a person trains to develop those qualities from their body that they want in order to meet their fitness goals. I'm not a SEAL and I am not in the military, but I am impressed with the training that SEAL's go through in order to develop themselves into the elite warriors that they are. This book tells you how to correctly get yourself into excellent shape and tells you how to do it safely. It offers a balance approach to physical fitness development. The book does not offer much in the way of specific exercise programs like other books on SEAL training do. It offered one, but it takes longer than most lay people will have time to do. However, after reading it you should be able to develop your own program. Of course, the book was not written for me, it was written for SEAL's, or SEAL's in training. Exercise programs are part of their jobs, so they have the time to do 2 hours of calisthenics before they run for an hour and after they have been swimming for an hour.

This is perhaps the finest workout manual ever produced. I always have liked the idea of using callesthenics to get in shape beacause not only is it a little safer than weightlifting, but it can be done anywhere with no expensive gym membership or equipment. Before I would use the CJ CArracci dvd's, which dont get me wrong are an excellent workout too. But this is so much more complete. He breaks it down to 12 weekly workouts, that are different everyday and change weekly, progressively getting harder while switching things up to keep the workout fresh. There's swimming, running workouts, military callesthenics, and so much more. I have never been in this good of shape before. I can swim over a mile a day, jog for 5-6 miles at a time, and do pushups all day! Factor in that this book comes with a dvd to demo the excercises all for 13 bucks, and you will have the greatest tool in any workout arsenal.

Fighting Fit Review

Don't be misled by this book's title, modest size, or the lurid cover: 'Fighting Fit' is a highly readable, common-sense guide to fitness. Although it's written with soldiers and marines in mind, this book is of considerable value to civilians as well. Weale's writing is witty and down-to-earth, free of the pseudo-religious psychobabble that plagues other fitness books. This is a dry, understated, very British book; while I happen to like this style, it may grate with some people. The book's emphasis is on practical advice, not just on fitness training but on nutrition (with recipes), outdoor navigation and first aid. Best of all, most of the training in this book can be performed without a gym membership. Although I can't comment on how well it prepares you for military service, I can tell you that this book helped me shed some pork and greatly improve my fitness. I've felt the benefits in every other aspect of my life. You don't need colourful books full of tanned models in spandex; buy this book instead, it's worth every penny.

First off this book is not a "how to" manual with carefully laid out programs. It does have some suggestions on how to build up running distance but don't expect much more. What you can look forward to is a great basic reference for exercises and related inuries and their treatment. Very basic. If you read it carefully you'll find valuable information and it will point you in the right direction in terms of specialized training (basics of plyometrics, weight training, importance of stretching etc), but you'll need to get some other books on these subjects to fill in the gaps. This is not something for a complete beginner.
If you are new to working out consider Stew Smiths'Maximum Fitness or The Complete Guide to Navy SEAL Fitness, you will not be disappointed, both excellent books. From beginner to advanced you can't go wrong, you will have to adapt the plans in the books to your own level though. In response to those who may say the workouts are too difficult or take too much time; what did you expect from guys who operate at the level of elite athletes and are paid to keep themselves in top condition? Like I said, adapt to your own level and strive to improve!
Actually I bought The Navy Seal Workout by Mark DeLisle way before I ever came across these other books and consider it OK but not great. It's a thin book padded with pictures but DeLisles' pyramiding scheme for chin ups is excellent and it has good upper body workout plans but no lower body(leg)workouts.
After working out for many years I considered myself in good shape in terms of strength and endurance, these books proved how wrong I was.

This is a great fitness book. It was written by Navy doctors working for Special Warfare teams (SEALS). The book is thick because it is actually two books in one: the SEAL fitness book + the nutrition book. What I found in the book was great scientific information that a layperson can understand, without all the hype and fluff and self-promotion you find in most fitness books. If you want to know how to lift weights, for example, what the % or RMI is, oxygen uptake, and heart rate and aerobic guidelines, as well as BMI inforamation, and information on biking, swimming, lifting, plyometrics, etc., get this book. This book is better than almost all the other fitness books I have seen in that it is almost 100% science, and 0 % hype. Don't let the "SEAL" thing scare you off, either: this book is for everyone.
