Corps Strength: A Marine Master Gunnery Sergeant's Program for Elite Fitness Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Am I really the first girl to review this book? Wow...So I was browsing Amazon.com for Marine Corps history books for my Dad and came across this book...for myself.I found the personal approach that MGySgt Roarke used by sharing his background with the readers really made the program seem real...and not some fad like the late night infomercials you see on TV.It was almost as if I was sitting listening to him explain these things to me. The layout is simple and VERY easy to follow.

The photos in Appendix B that show the proper way are very helpful,especially to someone who hasnt "PT"ed this way before.Sometimes positioning, especially if you've never done an exercise,can be difficult or cause bodily harm.Some slight modifications to some of the exercises to make room for my "girlie" parts, but otherwise fantastic. I've also found that in the past I have been missing a lot by not properly stretching.What a difference that is making in my "PT."The nutritional information in Chapter 8 "Chow" was fantastic.I have learned so much that I have already lost 4 lbs by changing my eating habits while working out my own personal EPRS schedule similar to those in Appendix E.

My favorites section was Chapter 10: Excuses, Vampires and Useless Information.In the past, I've always had excuses and/or emotional vampires to keep me from achieving my personal fitness goals.This book DESTROYED all of that an opened up a new mindset.I didn't go on a diet because of this book; I made a life change....AND IT HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE.

Thank you MGySgt Roarke for breaking this down for those of us who haven't served in the USMC. Thank you for the tool to change my life!

Semper Fidelis!
