This book is intense. I think it is good for all levels of fittness, mainly because you can pick certain exercises out for your level and when you become confident in training you can increase your work load. Not only that if it is good enough for the SAS then for every day living your on too a goodun. I have tried this for four months and it really does work if you prepare for it. You only have to see the difference it makes to him when you read the book. A must have for any serious fittness freak. Just rememember to take photos of your self at the end of every week and you can see the difference it makes. It works......

I bought this book having already a fair knowledge of fitness and weight training but there were still things in it that I found useful. It combines various forms of aerobic training with numerous exercises for all the major muscle groups (both free weights and machines). It also gives good advice on the form for each exercise and the number of reps for various levels of fitness. I also found the section on food useful as it contained various tips on what to eat at certain places where you inevitably eat unhealthily, like the cinema or take-away. If you are looking to both increase you cardio abilities and also build some muscle mass then I would certainly recommend this book to assist you.

As well as being very informative, the strength of this book is in the mythos surrounding the SAS. Everyone knows that these special men don't just appear in a test tube but are the by - product of discipline and hard work and knowing that this work comes from one of their own makes it all the more motivating. You soon become aware by the before and after photo that implementing the philosophies of Mr. Ryan into your schedule can reap exactly the same rewards, afterall, he, like you is simply a carbon based life form.
For men, this is a great work that ranks up there with the very best exercise books of Ranulph Fiennes. Written by somone who who gets fit for practical reasons rather than olympic medals, makes the subject a little more real.

ok if you know nothing about fitness, poor if you do
Perhaps I was a bit mis-lead on this book by believing that it would get me 'SAS FIT'. It is incredibly basic and I probably could have written a better one myself. Read more
