Product Description

Product Description

What better way to start the new year than to get fighting fit? Major Sam McGrath of the legendary Parachute Regiment has put together this easy to use and inspirational exercise guide that is perfect for everyone - from the couch potato civilian to the aspiring Para recruit. Major McGrath previously ran the selection course for the Parachute Regiment - the brutal 'P' Company and he draws on his vast experience to create a step-by-step guide to improving fitness through easy to follow exercise programmes. But this is more than just an exercise guide - it offers advice on how to choose a gym or personal trainer as well as healthy eating. The book also sets out five aspirational challenges for readers to aim for if they follow the exercise programmes including a 10 mile race and the gruelling Fan Dance around the Brecond Beacons. If you can do that then you know you really are Para Fighting Fit!

Great book! Simple, easy to understand everything you need to know about fitness, getting fit and/or losing a few pounds.
There's lots of books out there claiming results in days etc,etc - all tosh! This book lays it all out in a simple easy to use guide to getting the right results for getting fitter/losing weight or moving your fitness to the next level. If you apply the advices' contained in the book and a bit of common sense you'll see results in around 6-8 weeks. Like Wifey ;0)
I bought this for my wife and so far so good. Being ex-Para myself it was only going to end in tears if I was always trying to get her to do something a certain way. This way she can read all about it and crack on with her needs - without getting her hair off with me. Simples!

Bottom line - this will be a fantastic book to get you going again, if you just need to get your motivation back again after pointless training or losing weight to getting fitter and subsequently a healthier, happier life-style.

Format:Paperback
We bought this book because the title and the cover are different from one we already have, by this same author and on what appeared to be a similar theme, which we find useful; we thought this one must be a sequel. We discovered that it's simply a re-edition of the previous book, so we returned it, disappointed.
