Summary: A No-Nonsense, Tough Guy Workout
Comment: Building on the intensive physical training required for his becoming a Navy SEAL, Smith has made an engaging calisthenics-based workout that breaks down the components of military physical training into a tough, effective workout program. Although some of his suggestions, like jogging sternly through your neighborhood in combat boots, might raise some eyebrows, particularly in more prim neighborhoods, this book kicks butt, instructing you to do pushups, chinups, situps, runs, swims, and just about every other calisthenic. Although the frankly militaristic approach (as evidenced with chapters with titles like "Rope Climbing: Just for Fun") may not work for the average guy, much less the average woman, this book is far better than his latter, paunchier "Maximum Fitness" which lost much of Smith's verve and punch by attempting to aim more towards the civilian mainstream. I did these workouts with a friend until both of us ended up with minor injuries, and boy was it fun!

Summary: Great Book For Intense Workouts
Comment: If you are like me and you get to the gym and wonder what to do today, or aren't sure how hard is too hard or how long between workouts, this is the book for you. There is nothing vague about this book. It says do x number of pushups, situps, pullups, and then run y number of miles. And believe me, x and y are really high.
The author is right on with his notes about confidence. The first time you finish a 20 set superset or a 10x pyramid, you will walk home and ooze confidence.
The other reviews are right on about this being tough - it's extremely tough. Its important to look through the book and modify the workouts as you need. The best part is the author, Stew Smith, will answer any questions you have on [the website].
Amazing book, worth every penny. Buy it, read it, then go do it. You will find yourself addicted to the feeling that this book brings. You will also find yourself occasionally having trouble bending your arms and legs they are so sore, but its a great feeling.

Summary: HOOYAH 4 HEALTH
Comment: A great book for SEAL [hopefuls] or just the average schmo who wants to get a great workout. It even has a 4-week "warm-up" for guys who haven't done any exercise since Carter was in the White House. Be careful, some of the swimming is dangerous and can't be done alone. However, I guarrantee that this book is worth the price.
