Book Reviews of The U.S. Navy SEAL Guide to Fitness and Nutrition

Book Review: An Excellent Fitness Resource
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a pair of military guidebooks (physical fitness and nutrition) bound as a single book for commercial sale.

Pros:
-Expert authors make this an authoritative source.
-The material is very recent with broad coverage.
-The text is written in plain language.
-The text follows a truly educational format, with much explanation of terms before advice is given.
-Illustrations are clear and used effectively
-Even at full retail price, this book is a steal, and is a much better source than many "celebrity" fitness books.

Cons:
-Material should have been slightly modified for commercial sale. For instance, much of the data, formulas, etc. are specifically for men. Including corresponding material for readers outside the original intended audience would not have been hard.
