I bought a book, oh about 15 years ago. It was written in the 80s, named Get Tough. Written by a retired SEAL and a doc buddy of his. I think now some of the stretches would be considered a bit antiquated;there was a whole segment of stretches that about 5-10 minutes a day.

The program had 3 sections... stretches, PT, and then a run schedule.

I can tell you it was very effective. I was in my early 20s back then. I wasnt packing any extra weight at the time - unlike now but we wont talk about that. It did make me pretty fit though. I did the program one year before a college rugby season. I felt like a ballistic flying around the field.

The good points are this... you need but the book, a good pair of running shoes (DO NOT go cheap on the shoes), and a pull up bar. A couple of the exercises are better done with a partner, but can be done solo. You will do so many flutter kicks. When I started, I struggled, then my stomach felt like fire, then I reached a point where I could 400, 500, even 600 at a time... you quite literally get numb.

The down side... You might look a little silly doing some of the routines. It takes a fair amount of time (SEALS have all the time in the world for PT, its what they are paid for). YOu can end up doing calisthences (spelling?) for 45 minutes and then almost an hour of running. And to really get the max effect, you need to do them one after the other.

If the video follows the book I had, I give it 2 big thumbs up. The book is outta print, and mine is falling apart. I still use it on occasion. The SEAL workout wont really pack on the mass like weights do, but it will make you into an iron bar. Now that I am in my 30s, I would rather by slim and fit than massive. Looking down the pipe at older age, being slim and trim is the road to longevity, and while a 25 inch bicep gets the chicks when your 25, a 32 inch waist gets a few extra years above the ground.

I've been doing presses with the book as a barbell in my caveman speedo. use your imagination.

that is the one I was planning on getting if I don't like this one.

my dad being a Marine, would PT every morning before work...nothing lik hearing pink floyd at 4 am to get everyone out of bed...anyways. every house we would move into, he would set up a pullup bar. had these ankle things with hooks on them he would use to hang upside down from the bar, do ab work that way. flutter kicks, run all over the house. he would look rediculous doing it, but it kept the weight off. something I have started to do, just have not found the pullup bar yet. lost about 10 lbs. weight work will come later. but those flutter kicks man..****ing hell they kick your ass when you first start.

Flutter kicks suck, the Army Combat Driver have to do something like 500+ a day when they start the training for the MOS.
