U.S. Army Physical Fitness Guide: Strength, Endurance, Nutrition

Rating:
Summary: You can find much better
Review: This book is old. Perhaps that is the only good part about it as it contains the scoring standards of the Army almost two decades ago. This book has only generic information on the topics of nutrition, grass drills, guerilla drills, cals, running, strength training, and rucking. The information is so basic that, provided you have any background in physical fitness, will be common sense to you. There are three workouts in the book which overlap each other and contain little or no detail. Do not purchase this book if you have any sense about military fitness.

Summary: Not the best physical fitness guide out there, but it works
Review: As the other reviewer said, yes, this guide's information is fairly old. The information dates back to the late 80's, but for the most part it is all still applicable today. And I disagree about it being too basic. I'll admit that I'm no physical fitness instructor, but at the same time, physical fitness is not something new to me. I own a few other books on the subject and I have been exercising regularly for a while now. As the back cover states, this book contains some good info on:
Cardio, Strength and Flexibility Exercises, Calisthenics, Grass Drills, Guerrilla Exercises, Obstacle Courses, Rifle Drills, Log Drills, Nutrition Guidelines, Orienteering, Injury Recovery, Sports & Games, The Army Physical Fitness Test.
I found a lot of this info to be useful and I could imagine that others would too. This may not be the best book on the subject, but it is an official-issue guide and if it worked for the United States Army then it ought to work for you too.
