MARINES FITNESS

Summary: The book begins with initial fitness testing to ascertain the level at which you enter the programme (couch potato, civilian, etc) Through the chapters you can develop circuits of increasing toughness including running, cycling, swimming and floor exercises. A strict timing and point-scoring system provides incentive to improve and in true Royal Marines style you are encouraged and motivated all the way along. The ultimate challenge of the book is based on the real-life 'green beret ordeal'- a commando testweek to see if you can claim the ultimate accolade of being as fit - both mentally and physically - as a marine.
