Customer Reviews of Navy SEALs Workout

Get a grip!
The cover claims that this is an actual SEAL workout. Therefore, as a graduate of the US Army Infantry School in Fort Benning, Georgia, I expected to be impressed. However, it is clear that this workout is not used by operational SEALs for combat readiness. As the back cover discloses, the lads doing all the grunting, sweating, and shaking are trainees, not actual SEALs. They are led - rather effortlessly - by SEAL instructors who seem painfully aware of the presence of cameras, so much so that no expletives escape from their remarkably self-restrained throats (bleeps not required). On camera, not one of the boys gets "dogged" to a degree even remotely approaching real training conditions. My drill sergeants were much more colorful and... er... "motivational," to say the least.

Though I agree with the reviewer who believes that most beginners won't be able to "complete it properly" the first time, what is depicted here is not a single PT session. Instead, it is a series of excerpts from a couple of PR sessions that are characterized by a marked "let's get it over with" attitude on the part of most participants. I say "most" because one waistline-challenged trainee is undoubtedly thinking about calling it quits (he can barely keep up with an unremarkable series of sit-ups and push-ups), while one instructor is clearly on a mission to finish off a hapless young officer.

Luckily, I also ordered the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences edition of the Navy SEAL Physical Fitness Guide, and was able to come up with a challenging beginner's workout suited to my own far-reaching goals and current fitness level. That, together with a bevy of spectral drill sergeants from hell, should be enough to whip me into shape.

I challenge any producer worth his salt to film something akin to RADM Smith's lengthy PT program - as described in the aforementioned fitness guide - using operational SEALs instead of trainees.

On the plus side, the tape did come in handy as a guide to proper form, so my twenty bucks were not completely wasted.

REAL anerobic workout
this is probably the best workout video you can buy. It is very testing and requires nothing more than pull-up and dip bars. I defy anyone to complete it properly first time. A definite cut above the rest.

Fired Up!? .... HOOYAH!
I've been doing this workout since November of 2001 and I'm now in the best shape of my life. I'm proud to say, I can do everything on the tape at the rate it's presented. The only thing this tape is missing is the running and swimming.
