This review is from: The Complete Guide to Navy SEAL Fitness: Featuring the 12 Weeks to BUD/S Workout (Includes Bonus DVD) (Paperback)

Wow! I can't believe what a value this is. The video is awesome and the book is the real deal. Stew Smith is the guru of military -- SEAL --- fitness and this is exactly what I needed to get started on my quest to be in top shape. The book contains detailed workout plans and exercise instruction tips etc.

The bonus video (DVD) is very helpful for form, swimming (underwater shots are awesome!),etc. Woirth the price alone. Great job!

I've had this book since the very first printing several years ago, and originally bought the VHS tape to go with it. Now, they include a DVD of all the exercises with it. People, it really doesn't get any better than that! Where can you get one of the most excellent resources on fitness as well as a DVD for under $15? If you DO the workouts included in the book, you will reach a level of fitness that you have never reached before. If you want to be in good shape, buy another book. If you want to be in GREAT shape, get this book.
