Synopsis

Low-tech circuits, or repetitive exercises on specific muscle groups, are an increasingly popular way of exercising and this is exactly what the Royal Marines have been doing for years. THE ROYAL MARINES ULTIMATE CIRCUIT BOOK gives structured fitness programme, designed to keep exercising time down to a minimum, with hints and motivation tips and advice from experts on diet and avoiding and coping with sport injury.

The section on sports specific circuits shows how to concentrate on individual requirements for a wide range of games and sports, and also tells you how to design your own individual circuit. There are self-assessment tests throughout and the final section gives a four week course designed to bring you up to a peak of physical and mental fitness for a tough challenge based on SBS selection procedures which even those who achieved total fitness will find daunting.
