I like this stuff because I'm an old dude and its easier on your joints. MFF is right, if you follow the directions to the letter, it will smoke you and it doesn't take long.
Razor, I hear ya. A PT test that requires equipment will give slackers an out.
I liked certification (the hard ones) for testing the mettle, except for the PT test. Didn't take a whole lot of support - one Team could do another - but it really wrung us out. Especially in Panama. You ruck all night on a land nav then qualify on the range, you're doing some testing. Of course they politicized it to the point where it became a pain in the ass to even think about. Good training if done correctly.

Damn I wish I read this earlier. I just ordered this
The Naked Warrior
Oh well if I get confused or frustrated I will order Peterson's book. Thank you NDD for the tip they look like good no BS excersises.
Do you think it is along the same lines as Applegate and Fairbain?
ie:
What Applegate and Fairbain are to Marital Arts/ Self Defense
The Naked Warrior is to Working out?
