 Outside Workouts April 9, 2007

If you're tired of heading to the gym to workout, these exercise programs will give you a fresh routine you can do outside.
Stole it from my husband. January 11, 2007

I bought this book for my husband, who was growing bored with his regular Army PT and wanted to try something new. I ended up borrowing it from him, and my physical conditioning has improved greatly since then. The drills are clearly explained and very challenging. I'm looking forward to trying more of Stew Smith's programs in the future.
43 Year Old "Special Ops" Mom! January 6, 2007
When I got tired of all the coughing and body fluid exchange going on at the gym, I started to develop a workout I could do outside anytime, anywhere. This book was the exact tool I needed to develop a training program appropriate for my fitness level, that I could perform anywhere and without gym equipment.
Mejia and Smith put together programs suitable for beginners to the insane! If you're tired of packing up and driving to the gym, get this book. It will give you the freedom to walk out your front door, anytime and start working out.
I'm adding the 8-count body builder and combat drills to my workout this week!
AWESOME December 24, 2006
Stew's books are all a great recource for the National Guard and active services! They helped me prepare for air assault and I was very grateful!
Both comprehensive and demystifying September 11, 2006
With many books out there claiming to prepare you for the Special Operations, it is difficult to find one that isn't merely a little workout routine to get in moderate shape. This book actually prepares your body for the hardships you will encounter while going through specialized training. The book includes rigorous routines whichhelp with the physical conditioning and information to help prepare you for the mental strain you will endure. The only thing this book doesn't do is run for you.
