5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book!,
By John Sifferman (NH, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Maximum Fitness: The Complete Guide to Navy SEAL Cross Training (Paperback)
This is definitely a great book. I have workout books, which includes the marine corps 3x fitness program, but I've never had another book like this one. This one has it all. Variety, Almost every workout, if not all of them, is different, except when it tells you to repeat previous days (which is very rare). So, you won't get bored with this book. Good illustrations, the pictures in this book are perfect. They couldn't get any better, the paper is nice which makes quality photos. Hard, this is probably the hardest workout program ever. At least out of all the ones I've tried. As the weeks go on, the trials get harder and harder, until the 13th week which is the final test for the 13 week programs. There are 4 programs. They are each 13 weeks long equalling a 52 week workout plan, 1. Calisthenic Base Cycle (no weights), 2. Hardcore PT (Physical Training) Running, Swimming, Biking, 3. Weights/PT/Cardio mix, 4. And the loading phase which is hardcore weight lifting. This book is for everyone, Men, Women, and Teens. This book is also very explanatory. It shows and tells you everything you need to know (how do do certain excercises and stretches, how to go about the order of events in a workout, etc.) This book also has a section on nutrition. It has everything from vitamin descriptions to the foods to eat to get the vitamins you need. This also includes weight loss. Now, that I've got you totally believing that this is the book for you, here's the letdown. You have to be in at least decent shape to be able to do this book. You can be the judge on that. I recommend doing a lot or stretching. Stretching helps the muscles with their every function. So before this books arrives at your house, stretch for 30 minutes a day to get your muscles used to it. The other excercise I recommend is running because it gets the heart going and gets you to use your lungs to a more than normal extent. While going through this book, you may find an excercise that you do well, like pushups for example. If the book tells you to do a specified amount don't do more, no matter how easy it is. All of this equals the best workout of anyones life. If you can survive it, it will reward you like nothing else. I am a teenager who has finally found the right thing for myself. I recommend this book to everyone. I hope this review helps.

The fitness regimen that is contained in this book is for anyone that wants to acheive a high level of fitness.

Great book - slight drawbacks,
By "oezekoye" (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Maximum Fitness: The Complete Guide to Navy SEAL Cross Training (Paperback)
This is the best all around fitness guide that I have ever seen or used. Unlike other similar (Navy SEAL workout) books, this book goes well beyond the BUD/S warning order that is freely available on the internet. The best part of the book is the detailed weekly workout charts, which start off really slow which is good if you are out of shape (like I was). The only drawback of this book that the workouts can be a little confusing, and it doesn't seem like a lot of effort was put into making the instructions easy to understand (I think another reviewer mentioned this). It is particularly unclear when it is appropriate to take rest between exercises. However, if you use some common sense, these problems are easily overcome. Another great thing about this book is that the training is broken down into four 13 week phases, each with a specific goal. 1st Phase - general fitness After completing the entire program, you can go back and concentrate on the phase that best suits your goals. Overall this is the best overall fitness book I've ever used, and the LAST one I'll buy for a long time.
