Compiled by physicians and physiologists chosen for their knowledge of the NSW and SEAL community, this manual is a unique resource for anyone wanting to improve his or her health, strength, and endurance.

5.0 out of 5 stars All the information, none of the hype, July 17, 2007
This is a great fitness book. It was written by Navy doctors working for Special Warfare teams (SEALS). The book is thick because it is actually two books in one: the SEAL fitness book + the nutrition book. What I found in the book was great scientific information that a layperson can understand, without all the hype and fluff and self-promotion you find in most fitness books. If you want to know how to lift weights, for example, what the % or RMI is, oxygen uptake, and heart rate and aerobic guidelines, as well as BMI inforamation, and information on biking, swimming, lifting, plyometrics, etc., get this book. This book is better than almost all the other fitness books I have seen in that it is almost 100% science, and 0 % hype. Don't let the "SEAL" thing scare you off, either: this book is for everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Fitness Resource, January 22, 2008
By William B. Dwinnell IV (King of Prussia, PA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This is a pair of military guidebooks (physical fitness and nutrition) bound as a single book for commercial sale.

Pros:
-Expert authors make this an authoritative source.
-The material is very recent with broad coverage.
-The text is written in plain language.
-The text follows a truly educational format, with much explanation of terms before advice is given.
-Illustrations are clear and used effectively
-Even at full retail price, this book is a steal, and is a much better source than many "celebrity" fitness books.

Cons:
-Material should have been slightly modified for commercial sale. For instance, much of the data, formulas, etc. are specifically for men. Including corresponding material for readers outside the original intended audience would not have been hard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for fitness classes, June 18, 2007
This book is packed with useful info: explanations of fats, protein, vitamins, minerals, supplements, and includes a lot of great exercises and diagrams of the body. This book could serve as the core curriculum for virtually any fitness or nutrition class.
