Chris Ryan's SAS Fitness Book October 30, 2008
J. Murray (Dublin)
Very well written book with very good illustrations showing very good techniques and Cardio workouts as well as weight training. Where the book falls down is on the diet section, which could have been explored more. I have used this book with another very good book and a book I can totally recommend it's by "Rico Connor" it's called "Total Health For Life: Mind & Body, The Baby Boomer's Bible of Health" this book details foods, supplements, exercises both cardio & weight training, Nutrition, you name it, its covered in the book. I lost 2 stone in a month with info from this book it's that good. Both are well worth a read.

Perhaps I was a bit mis-lead on this book by believing that it would get me 'SAS FIT'. It is incredibly basic and I probably could have written a better one myself. Most of the information and tips are very obvious. There is no real training programme here to get you 'super-fit'which is what I was hoping for. Overall very disappointing.
Really good aid to getting fit. October 26, 2007

I got this book after I came back off holiday in an attempt to getting myself back into shape. The book is really well laid out and offers some really good, realistic methods that are practical for people like me that work long and awkward hours. I managed to lose 12 pounds in three weeks and muscle definition improved at quite an early stage. The only slight downfall is the Stage Three workout which I imagine would be quite difficult to stick to if you have a busy job or a family but there is plenty to keep you more than occupied. It is also good in that it covers all aspects of fitness including Weights, Cardiovascular and Dietary advice. Very useful and a great aid suitable for a wide range of people.
 Excellent August 3, 2007

A very well written, easy to understand book. Books of this nature can be boring and lacking in inspiration, not this one! It's full of detailed photography and text that takes the reader into developing their own training program. It decribes the pitfalls and offers solutions to developing a fitness program for life. Excellent, buy it now! And get a heart rate monitor to fully benefit from it's content!

As well as being very informative, the strength of this book is in the mythos surrounding the SAS. Everyone knows that these special men don't just appear in a test tube but are the by - product of discipline and hard work and knowing that this work comes from one of their own makes it all the more motivating. You soon become aware by the before and after photo that implementing the philosophies of Mr. Ryan into your schedule can reap exactly the same rewards, afterall, he, like you is simply a carbon based life form.
For men, this is a great work that ranks up there with the very best exercise books of Ranulph Fiennes. Written by somone who who gets fit for practical reasons rather than olympic medals, makes the subject a little more real.
