This is the PT regimen that I use in the house or hotel-room when getting to the gym is difficult. In fact, it's the only instructional "fitness" video that I've found both effective and convenient. Most of the exercises can be done in a small space, eliminating the need for moving furniture prior to workout. I really appreciate the basic callisthenics of this program. (I also appreciate the "eye-candy" visual aspect of the video: C J Caracci is quite the impressive physical specimen!) The instructor alternates between stretching techniques and strength-building routine with particular emphasis on abs and upper body. I would suggest a beginner get Caracci's "Navy SEAL Workout Challenge", in which he demonstrates the proper technique of each exercise. Then, use this faster-paced video for your burnout sessions. After the first viewing, you'll probably want to fast-forward past the introductory scenes of Caracci scaling a cliff and get right into the PT program. This video would get five stars if its production quality were better.

Simply the best workout tape out there! This tape works you to the ground! This tape is very "Raw" from a production standpoint, which makes this tape so GREAT! No dancing, No Models, No Lycra, Just a man with some knowledge of what it takes to get in shape, stay in shape, and then train some more. When the instructor "Falls off the cliff", it doesn't slow him down a bit, he gets up, recovers, and goes right back into training! Pure honesty with the veiwer, by the end of the video you feel that you can acomplish anything. I Highly recomend this tape to those who want a challenge.

There have been a plethora of Navy Seal fitness tapes and books lately. I have them all and think that Caracci's are the best. The importance of the tapes is not the exercises. They are all pretty much the same - strength then stretch. Where this series shines is on the attitude. If you listen to the words, adopt the attitude, and then do the exercises, it will work and will change the way you think about things other than exercise. After all, the true goal of physical exercise is to change the mind. So buy them all, get off the couch, THINK!, and do the exercises. Caracci's tapes are all great.

I think this is a great tape for an advanced person. I strongly recommend getting the Workout Challenge first!!!

I have been told burnout PT is very close to actual SEAL PT. The workout challenge is a bit slower with a lot of instruction of hows and whys. The Burnout is a bit much for me. Deathwish PT is just nuts. Seriously. If you can do it start to finish, rethink your calling in life.

The Loti group produces several tapes like this one. I would start with the Workout challenge and move my way up to Industrial Strength. Then, if your still not challenged, Burnout or Deathwish will do it.

I also recommend Shotgun CQB. It is a "how to" of using a shotgun in a defensive manner in a private residence. Chris was a member of SEAL team 6 counter terrorism unit. It shows in this tape.

Have fun!

The Burnout PT is the next step in the Workout Challenge series. The first video was slow paced with plenty of verbal motivation and attention to proper form. This workout is faster paced with less instruction. You simply move from one exercise to another without much of a break. Your rest periods come when you stretch between sets of strength exercises. This is an advanced level workout. Intermediates can proceed at their own pace and beginners, sit this one out.

This is a long workout at 1 hour and 15 minutes. While this is not a cardio pumping workout, it will increase your stamina and overall muscular endurance. The 8-count body builders at the end will have you gasping though. Caracci sets a good pace that will be a challenge for most but is not impossible to follow. If you can complete the workout as shown then you will be tired afterwards.

Using the Navy SEAL Workout Challenge series is an excellent way to stay in shape. It will motivate you to push past your limits and takes you to the next level. It's a serious workout for those serious about reaching their potential. It's not glamorous but it's effective.

The routine is good. The Production is Absolutely Horrible. I could have done a better job. His comments are not audible. He talks to himself. At one point the guy falls down from a cliff. No Editing. All Errors, there for the public to endure. I bought this tape from another vendor. Too bad I can not return IT!!!
