Summary: Basic, at best
Comment: I didn't expect acurate advice on gaining the fitness levels required for the special forces in this book, but I did expect accurate and useful information to help improve all round fitness.
However, altough it does offer fitness advice it is, at best, basic and very broadly touches on various subjects of fitness training.
The section about stretching is extremely brief and misses out numerous vital stretches for any training programme. Also the injury section vaugely explains what causes the injury, not how to deal with it and prevent it.
This book would be useful for anyone just starting out on getting fit. However there are much better resources out there. I recomend anyone thinking about getting fit speak to their doctor and a gym trainer first, you'll learn much more from them in 5 minutes than you will from this book.
I have a general rule about any media suggesting it may help you pass selection for the special forces, its never what it claims to be.
On the whole, dissapointing,

Summary: Excellent guide
Comment: I am not in the military, but do an awful lot of physical activity in the mountains and hills of the UK and Europe. This is a really useful day by day guide to getting mountain fit. But you still have to do the work yourself!

Summary: Awesome!
Comment: .....Great read and actively using the book as a reference!
Training guides given to you inside are extremely helpful and with the right attitude towards your own training, this book will definatley show you the clear benifits of your determination to stick it out!
Definatly worth every penny you spend on this book and more!
Highly recommended if you are looking to join the SAS, Paras, or the Royal Marines or even for your own interest!

Summary: great book
Comment: Really good book on fitness. Makes it so easy to read and has a step by step timestable which you follow to get to peak fitness and realistic targets. Great how he emphasises the correct food to eat even with a timetable on what you should eat from breakfast to dinner and even turns into a little cook book with recipes and shopping lists haha. Worth gettin and its great because you will get fit reading it and offers some good advice
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good for getting into milspec shape, best for aspiring recruits
Comment: The description of the book tells you it's about getting fit, but that's only half the volume of the book. Much of the book is about getting into the British Army, either the standard or elite sections, complete with 4-month training schedules and locations for the full-load runs that you would be expected to complete. You do get a warm-up routine familiar to anyone who's done military PE, plus a selection of weight workouts, a guide to running and swimming/cycling, but no other definitive guidance about getting fit...until you get to the 16-week 'getting ready for recruit training' schedule, which you may or may not be interested in.
If your plan is to get into the British special forces, then great, and this is the ideal thing for you. If, however, you're looking for a complete military-style workout, you're better off looking on military forums or finding another book.
