Now updated to reflect the changes that have taken place in the Navy SEAL basic training regimen in recent years, this revised edition of The Official U.S. Navy SEAL Workout represents the very latest in military fitness research.

 This book is terrific !! December 10, 1998
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
As an avid exerciser and fitness enthusiast, this book is highly recommended! With this book I can challenge and test my peak performance levels which really helps. The pictures are motivating, the workout schedules are great and the overall content is super. My nephew has never been in to fitness, but after seeing this, he's ready to go! In addition, as a former active duty navy Sailor, I'm very familiar with the SEALs and their program so it's great to see the "real deal" and not some bogus writing by someone who 'claims' to be a SEAL...... I recommend this to anyone who wants to start a program, keep up with one or just use it for the heck of it. Highly recommended for anyone young or old, male or female. Keep up the good work!!!!
A solid primer on Navy Seal Conditioning February 19, 1999
16 out of 17 found this review helpful
This book is an excellent primer on Navy SEAL conditioning. Seems to be pimarily for people interested in setting the stage for the kind of intense training that being a SEAL entails without demanding that they subordinate their entire lives to a Navy SEAL's fitness priorities. Basically, I'm this type of person. I have no chance of matching the physical prowess of a Navy SEAL, and thank heavens this book doesn't require me to. What it does is open the door to using the kinds of exercises that will keep me in great shape and even enable me to raise my workout intensity a notch or two without severely altering my lifestyle. The workouts are all straightforward and well-presented, and I felt comfortable mixing them into my regimen. Pretty cool. I recommend it.

This book is amazing, it helped me get into the best shape of my life! This book is not for the faint hearted though, but for those who are serious about fitness! The program centers around cardio conditioning with lots of swimming and running! I have completed several Military Fitness programs and this book is one of the best! If you have the drive, the Navy SEAL Workout can change your life! When I was 17-18 yrs old, I could run a 7 min mile and I thought I was in the best shape of my life. I was an All-Provincial (Ontario, Canada) track & field athlete in the 4x100m relay and the 100m sprint. My body fat was about 11% or 12% and I felt good! That was then, I am now 30 yrs old and can clip off a mile in under 6 mins, my body fat is around 10% and I feel better than I ever did, thanks mostly to this book! You get a feel for what the SEALs go through in their training and a great appreciation for physical fitness once you're done the program! Aside from the fitness aspect, this book is very well written and easy to understand and use. I can appreciate fitness oriented books, I am a writer myself (Backyard Sports for Kids) and this book recieves my full endorsement. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is serious about getting into the best shape of their life! The U.S. Navy SEALs are among the world's best and they certainly live up to their motto, "The only easy day was yesterday!"
Excellent for beginners and intermediate fitness buffs December 14, 2003

This book is basically the BUD/S warning order with lots of cool pictures and little motivating tidbits of info thrown in. It provides a "canned," structured, remedial fitness program for beginners and intermediate fitness buffs. The good thing about this workout is that its progressive, structured...and realistic. It involves no use of weights, just calisthenics, stretching, running and swimming. The simplicity of the workouts is the great thing about it. I could see most men being able to follow this workout and get into solid physical condition. Its also an excellent book for a young man aspiring to go into the military. You can complete the workouts in this book, then move onto more advanced type workouts. If you are not an aspiring SEAL, you could eliminate or cut back some on the swim portions of the workouts. And still get a fine workout.
Easier to understand the workout October 30, 2006

I've read a few of the SEAL workout books that are out and I think this one does the best job of laying out a simple fitness plan for the average Joe non-SEAL. Some of the other books that deal with pyramids, levels and regimens are not adaptable to the average guy in a gym. Flach's book is brief, concise, describes the excercises and how to perform them pretty easily. What I like best is the chapter on the actual fitness plan. Where other books describe the exercises and leave you wondering, "What do I do now???", this book lets you determine & categorize your ability level-- then outlines a M,T,W,Th,F,S schedule you can easily follow. It's good at letting you know what to do next... unlike some others that outline the Navy's PT regimen and make you spend time deciphering it into a plan you can bring to the gym.
