"The Royal Marines Circuit Training" book

[Jock]

Saw this in the mfat shop section:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASI ... ckidnet-21

Anyone have it?

Looked ok, thought it might give me more types of exercises to do and add a bit more 'structure' to my training...

Cheers,
Jock

Mate its worth investing in thats what i used before i joined the corps!

some good circuits in there!

[Eddie]

Yup I agree with Fodd, excellent book, if you can get a copy, go for it, well written with clear diagrams (and multiple photos of each exercise) as well as sports-specific circuits. Can't recommend it highly enough.

If you want a copy, brand new, go to WH Smith and order it for £10.99. I did it last night after reading the positive reviews

Hi all, I agree with all the above comments too, very good book, easy to understand, with good descriptions /photos and gives good progress with exercises. The days to day programme includes days of 'active rest' - when not having a circuit day you do activities such as running/swimming/cycling. Although good for general all round fitness and muscular endurance, it will not improve your cardiovascular fitness as much as programmes that include more running, although you could up the distance/intensity of the runs timetabled to put more miles in etc and get a greater specificity of training for the runs included in the POC/PRC and afterwards. A good book by the same author is 'The Royal Marines Total Fitness' by the same author, Robin Eggar. This has a more varied exercise plan. Worth a look if you can get your hands on it. Cheers.

For anyone interested, I typed up a circuit (The Beast) I took from the book a little while ago. Personally it is one of my favourites!

try Borders if you have one near by. They should have a sports sections where you are bound to find it.

Hey u will get the book from this website

[eddie_2006]

K2thep I tried to order it from there and the order went through, they sent me an e-mail to confirm it.

Then the next day i got an e-mail saying it was out of stock and they can not get anymore because it is out of print now.

[DLT]

I did the same and got an email the next day stating it was out of print. I have seen it kicking around ebay for upwards of twenty pound which is taking the mick.

Does anyone own the book and have a scanner I'm sure a lot of guys on here would like to read it and be very thankful.
