Summary: Great results if you follow the program
Comment: I don't agree with some other reviewers that this book gives inadequate information or that people can get hurt easily using the program. I'm a 42-year-old male who had been lifting weights sporadically for years without seeing much improvement. Within a few weeks of starting Mark's program, I noticed increased definition all over, especially in my arms and abs. Unlike weightlifting, I've had little soreness. Also unlike weightlifting, it's impossible to drop a barbell on your foot, since you're only using your own bodyweight for resistance! I think most people would be more likely to hurt themselves using weights or even weight machines.
For anyone who is even remotely in shape already, the only way to really get hurt with this program would be to do too much, too soon. Mark emphasizes repeatedly that beginners need to take it easy, and the beginner routines involve minimal repetitions. I found the progression from beginner to intermediate levels to be clear and logical (you work up to the next level gradually; you don't just jump from one level to the next.) I also found the explanations and photographs of the various routines to be adequate to permit proper form.
Maybe this isn't the ideal book for former couch potatoes, but every book doesn't have to serve every possible audience. I recommend Mark's book highly.

Summary: Mark De Lisle Fitness Program
Comment: 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.

Summary: Not Well Organized
Comment: I bought the book a while back, and while the explanations of exercises and stretches are nice and simple, there is a complete lack of explanation in lay terms of how to actually USE this routine. E.g., In the Upper Body section, you have to read the fine print that says, "do this Monday, Wednesday and Friday." The same phrase is in plain print in the next section. No explanation of how you should integrate the cardio with the workout. THIS IS NOT THE WORKOUT FOR SOMEONE WHO ONLY HAS 1 or 2 HOURS A DAY TO EXERCISE! It seems DeLisle is just listing already-available information as briefly as possible, with no respect to the lay people who actually have to execute the program. (And true, the many shots of skinny guys are not extremely inspiring.) And contrary to other reviews here, no, there is NO phone number so you can call DeLisle. They're reviewing the WRONG book. If you want a program that actually explains the proper way to implement it, get "Body For Life."
