I bought this as a companion book to Mark Divine’s other book The Way of the SEAL: Think Like An Elite Warrior to Lead and Succeed. Compared to other SEAL fitness books, this one is easy to understand and follow, is to the point, isn’t filled with lengthy fitness mumbo-jumbo, and has pics for demonstration guides so there is no confusion as to how to do the exercises.
