army fitness physical training Books
by The United States Army
Amazon Price: $11.69
Customer Review: With the Army moving towards less hardcopy and more internet based field manuals, FM 21-20 is getting harder to find. This is one manual that I need a hardcopy of (without depleting my printer of ink). It came fast, convenient, and in great shape!

Customer Review: I bought this on impulse from Waldenbooks -- was pleasantly surprised. Bender has written one of THE best books I've ever read on sports motivation and psychologfy, tieing together The Martial Way and the way of preparedness for sports as a way of life. Very practical, very inspiring -- no shortcuts. This guiy is The Real Deal. I would write more but the book psyched me up so much I've got to go work out....

Customer Review: As the other reviewer said, yes, this guide's information is fairly old. The information dates back to the late 80's, but for the most part it is all still applicable today. And I disagree about it being too basic. I'll admit that I'm no physical fitness instructor, but at the same time, physical fitness is not something new to me. I own a few other books on the subject and I have been exercising regularly for a while now. As the back cover states, this book contains some good info on:
Cardio, Strength and Flexibility Exercises, Calisthenics, Grass Drills, Guerrilla Exercises, Obstacle Courses, Rifle Drills, Log Drills, Nutrition Guidelines, Orienteering, Injury Recovery, Sports & Games, The Army Physical Fitness Test.
I found a lot of this info to be useful and I could imagine that others would too. This may not be the best book on the subject, but it is an official-issue guide and if it worked for the United States Army then it ought to work for you too.
Get Tough!: The U.S. Special Forces Physical Conditioning Program
by Tom Fitzgerald
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: I know why they call this a program you will love, because it is not hard. I enjoy the exercises and will continue to perform them, but I am not making this my primary workout. Instead I will adapt it for use three days a week on my easy days, as this is a perfect complimentary workout. I consider myself in good shape, but not great, and I was easily able to jump in and do the 12th week workouts precisely how Fitzgerald specified, boots and all. There were only several out of the 46 total exercises that I could not perform easily. The only way someone could say that it is deceptively hard is that a few exercises are nearly impossible. I found those are strictly for the abs though however and not any other part of my body feels a workout. I am not sore or exhausted, and the cals are the only valuable part to me as the running in week 12 was not that advanced- anyone can tell you to run for two 20 odd minute intervals with 5 minute walking breaks. The ab work is good, but other than that it is not challenging for someone who has some flexibility and performs cals regularly as I had. I have no doubt that these are valuable exercises, but this is far from the billing that I was reading on everyone else's review about what a workout you'll get from it. If you want a challenging workout buy something from Stew Smith and adapt this workout to include all the exercises for the off, or easy, days. It deserves four stars because this is probably good for most people who don't stretch enough and/or want to ease into a workout. All the supporters of this book must forgive me for making it sound so bad, it is a quality purchase, this just doesn't seem like the ultimate workout.
