SAS Fitness by Barry Davies
The training regimes featured have been adapted for a wider audience from those issued to members of the armed forces preparing for SAS selection. They are not just about heaving weights and grunting, but cover diet-management, improving stamina and avoiding injury - elements that are relevant to anyone undertaking an exercise or fitness programme. Throughout the book, the emphasis is on progressive and cumulative exercise regimes, following on from a realistic self-assessment of current fitness levels. The training routines are reinforced with dietary and weight-reduction advice. The book also provides a detailed insight into SAS selection processes and suggests typical training programmes that build to enable the reader to achieve the level of fitness required by the regiment.
Barry Davies served with the SAS for 18 years during which time he was awarded the BEM for his part in ending the terrorist hijack of a German airliner in Mogadishu in the late 1970s. Since leaving the armed forces, Barry has established himself as a prolific writer, with much of his output based on his SAS experience.
