Written by a 12 year Army veteran who trained soldiers to get fit, you won't find any sissy stuff here. We concentrate on diet, choosing the proper clothing, training, and most important: mental discipline. So, if you're truly ready, grab your sneakers, your water bottle and this book to get started.
