Editorial Reviews

Review
"This is a terrific book with a promise of carrying around a full gym in each of our heads! It fits perfectly in our mobile age of road warriors. It also provides a powerful fitness regime that fits into the support limits of our military forces on deployment anywhere in the world. Both members of my family and I are adopting the regime." —General James Abrahamson, USAF

"You Are Your Own Gym takes the strength training techniques of the Special Operations Forces and puts them into a comprehensive and easy to understand manual that can be done by anyone, anywhere, anytime. Mark Lauren has paved the way for anyone looking to get into the best shape of their life!" —Gregory Peterman, Sergeant First Class, US Army Green Beret

“I’ve had the opportunity to observe Mark Lauren's training program in action. He was responsible for training my Air Force Special Operations troops to prepare them for the most intense combat operations. The progress in my men was phenomenal. He took the best of the best, most of them former athletes, and made them stronger and leaner than they'd ever been. Best of all, they can use Mark’s program anywhere in the world they may find themselves for the rest of their lives.” —Geoffrey McClendon, Lt. Colonel, USAF

"As a past Air Force Academy Physical Fitness Instructor and Commander of some of the most physically fit warriors ever to serve our country, I feel well qualified to recommend Mark Lauren's book, You Are Your Own Gym, to anyone serious about raising the level of their physical fitness. And most importantly, staying fit. Following the exercises outlined in Mark's book eliminates the excuses often heard as to why one can't get into top shape.” —John T. Carney, Jr., Colonel, USAF

“Why do we have Bowflex, elaborate ‘all-in-one’ pieces of equipment, or for that matter, why do we have Gold's Gyms, or personal trainers? In my experience the most fit group of men I have ever seen was my Infantry unit in Vietnam. There were none of these luxuries. You literally were your own gym for real. Everyone was fit, strong, lean and agile. Reactions were quick and everyone had keen and alert senses. What works about this book is the return to nature, give yourself some discipline, throw away the pseudo crutches, and gain control of yourself through your own body's gym!” —Mike Fisher, Commander, 82nd Airborne Division; U.S. Army Ranger; Colonel, U.S. Army

"Body weight exercises are the simplest and most effective method of getting and staying in shape! On the road, crunched for time, or without a gym, these movements allow the most elite warriors to stay in fighting condition.” —Van Hall, Lt., Operations and Training Officer SEAL Team Four, US Navy

Product Description
Providing the only exercise equipment anyone will ever need again, this guide presents to the public, for the first time, the most elite Special Operations fitness exercises to fit their schedule and their wallet. Providing the most effective, efficient, inexpensive, and convenient routine for exercise available, this simple program requires no gym or weights—only the human body. For thousands of years—from Ancient Greece’s Olympic athletes to tomorrow’s U.S. Special Forces—humanity’s greatest physical specimens have not relied on fitness centers or dumbbells, but have rather utilized their own bodies as the most advanced fitness machines ever created. These 107 exercises are presented in a clear, concise, and complete manner for men and women of all athletic ability levels.

1 - The Underground Guide To Warrior Fitness: High Performance Bodyweight Training 1 & 2

Info –

This manual is like an encyclopaedia of bodyweight exercises. It's hard to think what Enamait has missed out. Not much. Hindu squats, hindu pushups, divebombers, one arm pushups, pistols - it's all here. Plus you get the methodology - how to put it all together. After all, the exercises themselves are easy sourced. It's the knowledge of how to make them work as a routine or in your lifestyle that's just as important. Otherwise it's like getting the ingredients without the recipe.
You get sprints, fartlek, tabatas, plyometrics, strength training, skipping, balance exercises, diet, training frequency etc etc - it's like a one-stop shop. Even the small chapter on stretching is pretty good. (for more detailed stretching info check out Thomas Kurz). There's enough to feed on for years.
This review could go on in detail about each chapter - but there's not much point. It's all good. Enamait makes things easy. Easy to understand and easy to follow. Unlike some sports conditioning tomes, you don't need to sit for weeks with notepad and pen and really swot up on it. There are no complicated graphs of force, velocity & power, flow charts of 'stimulus and response', no talk of epimysium, perimysium and myotendons - no complicated 'science-speak'.
Routines - there are simply loads of them. And this is one of the strengths of the book. This makes it far more than just a compendium of exercises. You can just pick a routine, go out and do it. No fussing. Even if you do not adopt the routines 'as written' you will undoubtably be enriched by the mental stimulation they provide. For example when Ross gives you his bodyweight Tabata routines, you may be inspired to give them a try with your free weights or rowing machine etc.
Yes, some writers don't include set routines because they claim 'each person's body is different' and that you should 'know your own body' and construct something yourself on that basis. Which is fine, except that you have to have years of training under your belt before you can understand your needs that well - and to get there you will have had to have made many, many mistakes apon the way. (plus it's a nice get-out clause for the 'fitness guru' if his exercises don't work. If the results are bad, then obviously the reader hasn't 'discovered' the right routine yet.)
Ross, with his experience has already narrowed down the choices of routine for you. Result? Less mistakes, quicker progress. Just get on and try them an adjust as you go along.
Above all, there's all the ingredients and inspiration to do your own thing should you choose to.
Enamait's receipe for success is simple. No gimmicks, just good honest downright hard work and all the time he's encouraging you all the way to achieve it. The most refreshing thing is that he doesn't hard-sell. There's no bullsh_tting here. No fancy promises, no tempting glimpses of other 'must-have' products.
Personal Training
With Ross's book you get instant, free personal advice. (You get free advice on his forum regardless if you purchase or not). You can't really ask for better than that.
Niggles
None really. Hell, if I was being picky, then a 'real book' would have been better than a ring bound collection of photocopies. But Ross is a cottage industry, a one man show. So that into account, he's made a damn good fist of it.
Two Free Lunches
No such thing as a free lunch right? Enamait offers you not one but two. Okay, okay you're paid for them really, (and it would have been nice to have grouped them into the main book) but as lunches go they are really rather good. More than token morsels, Enamait serves up around 15 pages in each.
Freebie Part 1 gives you a whole bunch of workouts, Pyramids, Circuits, Sandbags, Burpees, Runs etc.
Part 2 - more workouts, Tabata Intervals, more sand, more burpees, skipping rope, fight conditioning and more. Colour pics too. All great stuff.
The Bottom Line.
Enamait's Underground Guide to Warrior Fitness is The best value bodyweight training book out there. Recommended unreservedly.

The Naked Warrior

Master the Secrets of The Super-Strong Using Bodyweight Exercises Only

The Graduate Course In Instant Strength Gains

"I went from 5 to 10 pullups in one week."

"I could do one wobbly one-legged squat…
[Two weeks later] I did 5 clean, butt-to-ground pistols."

"Last night I did 15 one-arm pushups with each arm.
Two months ago I couldn’t do one complete rep."

Have you noticed—the greater a man’s skill, the more he achieves with less? And the skill of strength is no exception. From the ancient days of Greek wrestling, to the jealously guarded secrets of Chinese Kung Fu masters, to the hard men of modern spec ops, warriors and allied strongmen have developed an amazing array of skills for generating inhuman strength.

But these skills have been scattered far and wide, held closely secret, or communicated in a piecemeal fashion that has left most of us frustrated and far from reaching our true strength potential.

Now, for the first time, Russian strength expert and former Spetsnaz instructor Pavel has gathered many of these devastating techniques into one highly teachable skill set. In The Naked Warrior Pavel reveals exactly what it takes to be super-strong in minimum time—when your body is your only tool.

Gain more brute strength in days than you did in years of bodybuilding or calisthenics
Discover the martial secrets of instant power generation—for rapid surges in applied strength
Discover how to get a world-class powerlifter’s quality workout—using your body only
Master the one-arm/one-leg pushup for crushing upper body force
Forge super-piston, never-quit legs with the Spetsnaz favorite "Pistol"
Discover the magic of "GTG"—guaranteed the world’s most effective strength routine
Be tow-truck strong—yet possess the rugged looks of a stripped-down racer
Get a harder, firmer, functionally-fitter body—and be as resilient as hell whatever you face
No gym, no weights, no problem—get a dynamite strength workout at a moment’s notice—wherever you are

Building the Gymnastic Body

Info –

We have all seen them on television during the Olympics; these massive powerful men performing amazing skills with ease and grace. Watching them perform, the question inevitably arises - are they as powerful as they appear to be? And the answer quite simply is - yes. What will probably be even more surprising to you is that they build their strength and physiques almost entirely with various bodyweight exercises. There are of course some supplemental exercises where weights are utilized (i.e. weighted leg lifts), however the central premise remains; these amazing athletes have built the vast majority of their strength and power through the use of bodyweight conditioning

The Navy Seal Workout: The Compete Total-Body Fitness Program - Mark De Lisle, McGraw-Hill, ISBN 0809229021 |

"Many people believe the only way to get in shape is by putting a lot of money into trendy fitness centers, or spending hard-earned cash on a variety of workout videotapes. In the end, these methods seldom provide the results we're all looking for. But don't get me wrong--I am not demeaning gyms or workout tapes; in fact, I still enjoy the benefits of a gym to keep fit. Weight-lifting rooms and other facilities can be extremely beneficial. However, to obtain and maintain supreme cardiovascular fitness and a rock-hard body, I must continually use the training regimen I learned as a member of the Navy SEALs." -- from The Navy SEAL Workout As the world's most elite combat unit, the Navy SEALs have long been known for their tremendous physical fitness and mental stamina. Their training program has also carried somewhat of a mystique, as so few people actually enter and stay in the program. Now Navy SEAL Mark De Lisle reveals the no-frills workout that has conditioned some of the best bodies around. From stretching through cooldown, including a variety of running and swimming workouts as well as tips on top-notch nutrition, The Navy SEAL Workout can improve any committed participant's cardiovascular fitness and overall shape and tone. "After 27 years as a Navy SEAL, I feel The Navy SEAL Workout program is the best one on the market, encompassing the physical training regimen required of a Naval Special Warfare Warrior. The levels of intensity, from beginner to advanced, are so well laid out that both the biggest 'couch potato' and professional athelete can see improvement after a short period of time." -- Allan Starr, Command Masterchief, Naval Special Warfare Command Group One "In The Navy SEAL Workout, Mark De Lisle has developed a program soundly based in a state-of-the-art knowledge of exercise physiology and principles. This book would be a valuable addition to the library of anyone who is interested in peak performance." -- W.K. Prusaczyk, PhD, Exercise Physiologist, Navy Health and Research Center "It has been interesting to note the numerous SEAL-related materials that have come out in recent years. As a former Marine, I salute you for your fine work with the SEALs and in promoting fitness to the masses." -- Harvey Newton, Director of Program Development National Strength and Conditioning Association Mark De Lisle became a U.S. Navy SEAL at age 27. He lives in San Diego, California.

You need to become VERY GOOD in multiple disciplines in order for people to actually want to pay to train with you. There is no college for martial arts, but you can go to business school to learn how to start a business.

convict conditioning

From a seemingly unlikely source Paul "coach" Wade has written a book called Convict Conditioning. After finishing his 20 yr prison term in several federal penitenturies, Paul wrote a book about what he learned and eventually taught or coached about building a rock solid functional body using bodyweight exercises. This in a place where being fit is a matter of survival, and exercise one of the freedoms that could not be taken away. His method consists of 6 basic complex movements, and 10 variations of each movement , so that the absolute beginner can progress over time to an apex most of us would never see.

Paul's independent research over the years in developing his system, has been very thorough , because as he states, having an injury from your exercise routine leaves you very vulnerable on the inside; a position that no prison inmate can afford.

I would say if you are looking for a program that provides a functional body, you should look at this program. Its published by Dragon door publishing or if you have an account with scribd.com, it can be found there as well.
