All about pushing to the limit and testing oneself against the best, these workouts are carefully explained and illustrated with step-by-step pictured. But it isn't the "how to"; it is the "can you" challenge and the author's motivating you so "you can" that make this book unique.
Recognized fitness expert, author, and ex-Navy SEAL Mark De Lisle challenges readers with some of the most rigorous training employed by anyone, anywhere. Drawn from the actual programs used by America's special operation forces -- Navy SEALs, Delta Force, Marine Force Recon and Army Rangers -- the workouts in this book are packed with grueling, mind- and body-draining tasks that test the mettle of any athlete. This phenomenal conditioning manual presents the best of the best as it shows readers how to reach the highest levels of fitness. Every aspect of training is incorporated into the program, including warm-ups, stretching, upper body, lower body, cardio, running, swimming, goal-setting, and motivation. The author has trained thousands of people and witnessed time and again the amazing results achieved by these unique techniques. One of only two men in his bootcamp class to successfully complete training and become a Navy SEAL, the author teaches readers what it takes to rise to the occasion when nothing less than total commitment will do.
