Back to Corps Basics

If you are thinking about the Corps, going back into the Corps, or are in the Corps, this book is a good guide for the physical fitness that one must achieve and sustain. As a prior Marine attempting to get into the Officer Corps, I am finding this book indispensable in my daily routine of trying to get back into shape. I do however suggest that you photocopy the workout pages and laminate them for ease of reference and in the name of keeping the book together in one piece. Good luck in all your endeavors.

Nice workout book

As a fromer Marine, I like to keep up with Marine Corps PT. This is a great book for anyone who wants to workout like a Marine or someone who is getting in shape for boot camp or OCS. These are the same workouts that Marines use daily and while on sea duty. The rifle PT section is excellent and you do not need an M16 to make full use of this workout. The book explains more than just workout routines. It does have other information that one may not use. Semper Fi

great book - even better workout

This book is just really the best I've ever seen of its kind. Workout books never really did much for me in the way of motivation, but this one truly did/does.The book is full of easy-to-follow writing that provides good information both for the workout and about our Marine Corps. With full and detailed walk-throughs of both enlisted and OCS physical training courses, the book covers just about anything that anyone considering the USMC would want to know.The workout itself is clearly laid out with pictures of each exercise being executed with proper form and with schedules that work for beginners and advanced alike.If you want a general information book about physical training in the USMC or if you just want a solid, easy, all-over body workout...you have GOT to look into this book.

Truly awesome, a great workout!

Flach writes this book as an insider. And that is what you feel like. I started the "16" program a month ago, and I feel better about myself and my body. It is really a "what you make of it" book. There is a lot of self discipline, but the hard work pays off. I think this is the best book out for the self-motivated.

Get in shape with Marine Style!

If you've been out of shape for awhile or you have never been in shape then this is the book to get. The workouts start you off at a low pace that increases it's cadance as the months roll on. The "Daily 16," in itself, is a great workout that you can perfrom ANYWHERE. This, along with the rest of the PT ideas, will give you a great amount of variety in your workouts - hence - no boredom. No equipment needed! Just your desire to get in the best shape of your life!
