Is it possible to do the 16 weeks training at home to be ready for the paras?

I've got a book called "The Paras Ultimate Fitness" by Claire Gillman. It takes you through 16 weeks of training and then test week and is supposedly based around the same routine potential paras do in basic training. It gives you guides on when to wear boots, bergan and helmet and gives times that each workout has to be completed in. This should give you all the info you need if you fancy doing the 16 weeks prior to actually signing up.

There is another good one called Fighting Fit that is pretty good, its the one that i am working from currently and was recomended by the bloke in my local recruitment office.
