Book Reviews of The Official U.S. Air Force Elite Workout
Book Review: Ignore the poor reviews
Summary: 5 Stars
I read through all the reviews before ordering this book & came to the conclusion that either the wrong people are enlisting in the military or people are selecting the wrong Military Occupational Specialty. After about five minutes I had my personal fitness plan custom tailored to my needs.
Where the confusion lies I don't know. Within half an hour all the stretches and exercises were committed to memory thanks to the excellent photgraphs and text.
If anyone buys this book and gives it a one star review all I can say is, ' Put down the Krispy Kreme, close the comic book & stop living behind internet bravado'.
Besides, who better to look up to than PJs. These guys are real American heroes. They get into the thick of it and save lives, not take them. PJs are way cool. People are always drooling over Navy SEALs but all it takes is a six pack and the keys to your car to be as dangerous of a threat to others. Know what I'm saying?
Summary of The Official U.S. Air Force Elite Workout
You've heard of the SEALs. . . . now meet their blood brothers!The Official United States Air Force Elite Workout: An Official Five Star Fitness Guide
Featuring: Running ? Swimming ? Weight Training ? O'Course ? Calisthenics ? and much more!
Known as the PJ's and the CCT's, the pararescuemen and combat control technicians are the elite forces of the United States Air Force.
PJ's, whose motto is "that others may live", routinely go in harm's way to bring back downed pilots and crewmembers. CCT's, "first to fight", are responsible to enter hostile territory ahead of the rest and establish safe landing sites for arriving forces.
Their self-sacrificing efforts are heroic. Their training is intense, exciting, and before this book, little known. Now for the very first time, their powerful training techniques are brought to light in this profusely illustrated and documented presentation.
Includes sections on: stretching, weight training, calisthenics, running, swimming, rope climbing, entrance requirements, plus special dramatic coverage of water survival training, from both above and below the water line!
