 US Navy SEALs - Training Camp - Strength Workout (1999)

"The STRENGTH video is a comprehensive total body resistance training workout.

The Navy SEALs Workout (2008)

 The Navy SEALs Workout (2008)

"Who must be in top physical shape to perform their job? Who must utilize all muscle in order to accomplish their task?

I'm not talking about professional bodybuilders, I'm talking about our nations elite fighting force - The U.S. Navy SEALs. These brave men are not worried about how they look in front of the judges, but how they are judged by their superiors. Living by the mentality that they must perform to the best of their ability on every mission is why they are so successful. But how do these men get in shape in that short period of time called basic training? Bodybuilding takes years to come across the perfect physique and even then, some bodybuilders are still not happy with the results. The SEALs take a different approach to training, they are concerned with strength and endurance, not symmetry and hair loss products. In this article, I will outline a Navy SEAL workout someone gave to me. Do You Have What It Takes To Be A Navy SEAL?"
 
"This program is about a nine week long program. During this program, you should notice that your endurance will sore to heights never imagined. However, like Navy SEAL training, this program will break you - only the mentally strong will survive and a new, strengthened man will emerge.
 
As you can see, this program builds your endurance and your strength. Also, looking at this program, rest days are few and far between. Hence, one should take in an adequate supply of the necessary nutrients and water. There is no doubt that such a program as this one will work, however, doing this program requires commitment and determination. The exercises are simple - they involve no sophisticated movements or machines. This Program Requires Commitment &

Determination. After the fat has been shed and the muscle is packed on, try out for the SEALs and see if you can make it."

Alberto Gallazzi - TACFIT Survival (2012)

Alberto Gallazzi - TACFIT Survival (2012)

TACFIT Survival is a comprehensive, plug-and-play fitness training program that will help you develop a high standard of fitness by burning stubborn fat, building functional muscle and improving your conditioning level using a variety of movement skills and training protocols that were specifically created to improve performance in high stress situations such as competitive fighting.


The TACFIT entourage just released a new training program called TACFIT Survival. Truth be told, I have been looking forward to this for a number of months, but I didn’t know it was being released today until this morning when a few of you wrote to me about it (thanks!). I have not used TACFIT Survival before, but in my travels, I’ve spoken with a few people that have attended a TACFIT Survival seminar, and I’ve heard comments ranging from “it’s freaking awesome” to “I thought I was going to die, and then I was done!” Needless to say, I’ve gotten mixed feedback, but overall, everything has been really positive.

“TACFIT Survivor delivers the best of both worlds: brains & bronze! These are by far the most sophisticated, stimulating, & energizing exercises rolled into 1 program I’ve experienced to date. There’s not much I can’t tackle after challenging myself to this program. A true mind-body fusion of unprecedented potential, leave your egos at the door, there will be no room! This brings a whole new meaning to “mindful movement.” In today’s KISS (keep it simple stupid) mentality, it’s often hard to stay mentally focused & in tune with exercises due to their lack of complexity your nervous system craves. Not the case with Survivor, talk about brain sweat! The exercises are designed in ways that safely & progressively require the most efficient breathing & movement patterns you can muster. As both a coach & athlete, I highly recommend TACFIT Survivor for anyone who seeks substantial improvements in motor development, core power, performance breathing, & confidence.”

Kettlebells From The Ground Up

Kettlebells from the Ground Up

Can one exercise sequence do it all? Can one exercise provide insight into how you move? Could one exercise be the key to achieving a balanced and strong body? Well, according to the two of the most highly regarded "Engineers of Movement Mastery", Gray Cook and Brett Jones, the answer is a resounding Yes! It would be the revered Turkish Get-Up.

The old time strongmen used the Get-Up as an "entrance exam" requiring a 100-pound Get-Up on each side before beginning any other training. And today the Get-Up represents an opportunity for everyone to regain the "beautiful strength" and symmetry that our so-called fitness routines should bring us-but invariably don't!

And as you would expect of these Masters of Movement Engineering, they don't just stop at showing you how to perform the exercise. Discover why the Turkish Get-Up is simultaneously a profound and broad-ranging assessment tool, a tremendously effective corrective strategy and a formidable workout where the sky's the limit for athletic accomplishment.

Kettlebell Training for Combat Athletes

Kettlebell Training for Combat Athletes

At the top levels of MMA there are so many fighters using kettlebells to great effect. Fedor Emelianenko, Frank Shamrock are among the notables that are pushing the training envelope with kettlebell training. Fighters are boasting stronger more powerfull striking techniques, explosive take downs and an unbreakable ground game as a result of kettlebell training. With such dramatic results coming from the kettlebell trend, every man and his dog are starting to use kettlebells to lift there combat performance. This is were the smart fighter can lead the pack.

"Kettlebell Training For Combat Athletes" 2 DVD set, by Jason C. Brown and Zach Even-Esh is a significant move to increasing the effectiveness of standard kettlebell training, and helping you become a stronger more powerful fighter. Jason and Zach's methods are all fight specific, and perfect for the MMA athlete.

We've been incorporating the Kettlebell Training for Combat Athletes here at Fighters Review for a month now, and WOW! If you're into really pushing your self, then get the spew bucket out.

These aren't the standard Kettlebell exercises although the rudiments are covered at the beginning, and are explained well. This gives the beginner a good base to start with and quickly gets funky for the advanced user.

My favourite exercises in the set were the Kettlebell Complexes, which is basically a set of Kettlebell exercises done without pausing. Years ago when preparing for a fight I used an Eastern

Bloc Barbell Complex that a lot of Russian wrestlers were having success with. I thought I was the man, and in part attribute that type of training to a 3 and half minute victory in that particular fight. The Kettlebell Complexes compared to the Barbell ones are killer. The off center weight of the Kettlebells combined with the fight specific movements of Zach and Jason's complex taxes the body like nothing else. Your heart lungs and muscles will be crying NOOOO!!!! I got quickly humbled.

Disk 2 covers using Kettlebells combined with other tools and training implements such as bands, platforms and towels. The tools combined with the Kettlebells make for some very effective training. I especially liked the box jumps combined with the Kettlebell cleans, think EXPLODE, because that's what you'll be doing in fighting after doing these for a month.

After doing it for a month one bit of advice I'd give is to try and do it with a partner. You'll be able to push yourself alot more, and keep each other in correct form.
The bottom line is these are 2 DVDs full of pain and fun that will take your fighting abilities to the next level, and get you ahead of the pack.



Jillian Michaels - Rip 60 Fitness System

Jillian Michaels - Rip 60 Fitness System

Jillian Michaels Rip 60 Fitness DVD Set is clearly a new product. Jillian Michaels isn't the primary trainer; Jeremy Strom kicks off the workouts. I had been considering the P90X Extreme Home Fitness Workout Program as a system to help me get back into shape after many years of infrequent exercise (and a few health problems). This program clearly is made to compete against P90X, and it offers some interesting benefits at a better cost. I jumped at the chance to try this, but you should know that the trainer on the pre-release DVDs was not Jillian. ”

WEEK 1: The week 1 DVD begins with what they call a "warm-up" but to me felt like a shock to the system. I had to perform Week 1's workouts in stages. I did as much of the program as I could, and found myself needing an off-day every other day. Hence, I decided to take 2 weeks to perform all the same number of days as I would have if I did this every day. It was still a challenge well into the second week, so I had little fear of plateau.

WEEK 2: I am doing week 2 during what would have been week 3, and it seems to not be getting easier. I am trying to power through it.

WEEK 3: I am halfway through the program and I am finding my stamina has increased considerably. I am not really seeing any visible changes in my body yet. But I am definitely able to finish workouts that, in the beginning, I needed a break to get through.
 
Here are my overall thoughts so far. The exercises and movements are not difficult on their own, but they are well designed so that when they are performed in sequence they present a real challenge. They don't always seem to inform people of how to adjust for fatigue or modify exercises. Pace yourself carefully if you are not a fitness junkie.

Robertson Training Systems - Complete Core Fitness

 Robertson Training Systems - Complete Core Fitness

Are you tired of suffering from lower back, hip or knee pain? Or constantly injuring yourself in the gym?

Would you like to have a set of great-looking abs? And shouldn’t your core training be transferring itself to improved athletic performance?

Let’s be honest – if your core isn’t strong and stable, you are failing to achieve peak performance, and unnecessarily exposing yourself to injury.
What’s worse? Almost all the core training “exercises” and gadgets you see on TV are absolute

garbage! They’re NOT going to give you the results you want, and in fact, are actually increasing the likelihood that you end up injured!
Finally! A Unique Core Fitness Product Unlike Anything Else!

If you’re ready to hurt less and improve your performance both in and out of the gym, Complete

Core Fitness is exactly what you need!

Complete Core Fitness is 3 hours’ worth of core training materials, broken down into 7 individual modules. In this informative webinar series, you’ll learn the following:
 
Module 1: Introduction and Philosophy

Myths and misconceptions about core training, and where most people go wrong.
The two true roles of the core: Re-Directing and Re-Distributing Force.
What you must know about core training to get maximal benefit.

Module 2: Functional Anatomy of the Core

The difference between upper and lower back rotation, and why it’s of critical importance if you want to stay healthy and improve performance in any rotational sport!
How the rectus abdominus is often trained incorrectly, and why crunches and sit-ups are rarely a part of my programming.
The most overrated and underrated muscles in the core!

Module 3: The Core Assessment

The exact tests I use to evaluate my clients and athletes.
Why breathing patterns and rib position are critical assessment tools!
How your assessment drives your program design and coaching process.

Module 4: Foundational Core Training

The concept of high- versus low-threshold core training, and why you need to apply both in your training regardless of your goals.
Why the pelvis is critical (maybe even more than the back!) if you want to improve posture, alignment and performance.
How to decide between tall or half-kneeling exercises with your clients and athletes – and yourself!

Module 5: Isolative Core Training

My five “branches” of isolative core training – this alone will radically change how you train the core!
The exact progressions I use to get someone started within each branch.
Program design examples that show you how to fit isolative core training into your current training routine.

Module 6: Integrated Core Training

How to bridge the gap between isolated exercises and integrated performance.
The single factor you can manipulate to increase core activation in every single exercise!
Why jumping right back into big lifts like squats and deadlifts after an injury could get you injured again!

Module 7: Sports- and Performance-Specific Core Training

How to transform your newfound core strength and stability to improved on-the-field performance.
Discussions on core training for the following sports: baseball/softball, tennis, golf, basketball, volleyball, football, soccer, and powerlifting. And if your sport isn’t included, I show you how to determine exactly what you need for your specific sport!

These seven modules encompass virtually everything I know about core training.

The Biggest Loser: Power Walk - Bob Harper

The Biggest Loser: Power Walk - Bob Harper

Kick-start weight loss at home with the help of trainer Bob Harper and "fan favorite" contestants Tara Costa and Sione Fa from NBC's "The Biggest Loser." Walking is one of the easiest and most effective ways to burn calories. Now get moving with four one-mile indoor walks that increase in intensity. Start with Walk 1, a low-impact walking workout, and progress to Walk 4 with added weight and cardio power. Plus, get your chance to achieve your marathon goal like the contestants on the show. Use the progress tracker and your one-mile walking workouts will add up to 26 miles in just three weeks. Start this low-impact fitness program and cross the finish line as a leaner, healthier you!

Four indoor walking workouts led by Bob Harper and previous “Biggest Loser” contestants. For motivation and interest, each workout features a different exercise technique (but you can always return to a “plain walking” option). Bob leads two segments. The first is the basic introduction to walking-style movements. The second is more intense; it includes short “cardio bursts” (moves like speed skating and jumping jacks). Previous show contestants lead the other two sections. Sione Fa integrates dumbbell toning into the cardio. And Tara Costa intensifies her aero/tone segment with a medicine ball. Sunny, outdoor setting. Requires 2 to 5 lb. dumbbells and a medicine ball (a single dumbbell will also work)



Bob Harper: Inside Out Method - Body Rev Cardio Conditioning


Bob Harper: Inside Out Method - Body Rev Cardio Conditioning

Two no-nonsense programs: a challenging aero/tone interval workout and a complimentary body-sculpting series. They’re both led by “Biggest Loser’s” Bob Harper - a passionate trainer intensely focused on keeping you motivated (“suck it up; you can do this!”).

The first program - 64:00 min. - includes short cardio segments with longer muscle toning sequences. The exercises are non-stop and super-challenging - from jumping jacks and mountain climbers to kettlebell-style moves and “scorpion push-ups” (one leg bent up).
The second workout - 24:03 min. - is all toning and a little easier. It features multi-muscle exercises and lots of balance routines. Both programs show easier modifications.

Even Tony was scared of this lineup. Get ready for moves that are just plain cruel, like jack-in-the-box knee tucks. Or think drills that'll make you think twice about your coordination. This is plyo to the nth degree. Let the sweating begin.

Tony Horton - P90X2 - The Next P90X Fitness Workout Series


P90X2 - The Next P90X Fitness Workout Series

P90X2 WORKOUT: THIS IS NO ORDINARY SEQUEL. The result of 2 years of R&D conducted by a team of some of the most qualified experts in fitness, this is training so cutting edge, so outrageously effective, you'll be blown away by your visible results. AND your performance. P90X® is based on Muscle Confusion™—to break through normal 30-day training plateaus so you get results fast. P90X2 ups the ante with a training technique developed by professional sports trainers for world class results: P.A.P., or Post-Activation Potentiation. Don't try to remember the word, just remember that it works. Like crazy.

With P90X2, you get 12 groundbreaking workouts focused on chiseling your body while building your balance, agility, core strength, and athleticism. It includes new customization with an all-new, highly flexible Nutrition Guide to help you excel.

THIS, is training. Better training than most pro athletes get. The kind of cross-training that separates posers from performers. And with emphasis on your abs/core, powerful athletic function, and lightning-bolt agility, it'll help you blast through your plateaus.

The Workouts:
X2 Core
The core is your body's foundation: the point where all movement begins. By working your core using instability, you force your body to fire both its prime mover and stabilizer muscles in harmony. As you master this routine, all of your movement patterns will improve.

Plyocide
Combines traditional explosive movements with mind and coordination drills to increase not only your speed and endurance, but your entire mind/body connection, as well. Don't do this one more than once per week.

X2 Recovery + Mobility
You learned with P90X that your body only grows stronger while at rest after it has been challenged. The P90X2 Recovery + Mobility workout takes this a step further by not only enhancing recovery, but also forcing your body to realign to promote better overall functionality. The key is a myofascial release technique called foam rolling. Expect to get a whole new understanding of the phrase, "hurts so good." This workout also provides you with a complete stretching routine for those days you prefer to work without the foam roller.

X2 Total Body
Combines resistance and instability to ensure that your body uses the correct muscles in the given movement. Old school isolation movements that can lead to muscular imbalance not welcome here. In this workout you'll earn every repetition, and form is king.

X2 Yoga
Yoga's traditional benefits of relaxing the body and restoring the mind are present but will take a back seat to increasing isometric power, improving your range of motion, and building vital stabilizer muscle strength. This is yoga, X2 style. Yoga is a fountain of youth and to us, staying young means staying strong and supple.

Balance + Power
The moves in this workout force core rigidity under duress by incorporating strength and explosive movements. As you improve your body's connection between balance and power, your body alignment will improve, nagging aches and pains will lessen, and you'll be able to push far beyond the limits you once thought you had.

Chest + Back + Balance
The same mega pump that was P90X Chest & Back now gets an added bonus, an array of unstable platforms designed to make your body earn its muscle. As you improve at this workout, your strength gains will be superior to those made with any traditional weight-training workout.

X2 Shoulders + Arms
Shoulder instability leads to an assortment of injuries experienced by many of us as we age. By keeping our shoulders and arms strong and in balance, we can avoid breakdowns. And that, along with looking good in short sleeved shirts, is the philosophy behind the creation of X2 Shoulders + Arms.

Base + Back
Working the body's two largest groups of muscles in one workout may seem sadistic but most people seem to find this pull-up and plyo extravaganza very entertaining. It's the sweatiest "weight training" workout you'll ever experience, according to the manufacturer.

P.A.P. Lower
P.A.P. stands for Post-Activation Potentiation, but all you really need to know is that it is the cutting-edge technique that translates into performance. Two four-round complexes of seemingly straightforward movements don't look like much on paper but these workouts have destroyed the fittest athletes on the planet. The same ones who swear by them just as soon as they finish swearing at them. Just wait 'til you see what they can do for you.

P.A.P. Upper
The same complex training format as P.A.P. Lower but this time focused on your upper body. Remember when you were a kid and bounced around jumping fences and climbing trees? Post-Activation Potentiation training will bring back your youth. Over time you'll feel loose, springy, and young.

X2 Ab Ripper
Squared. Tony takes you through a series of core movements that'll upgrade your concept of what an ab workout is supposed to be.

V Sculpt
Works the back and biceps, or the "actor muscles" as they're called in Hollywood. The movements are all done from an athletic stance, so strength gains will be applicable to real world movements.

X2 Chest + Shoulders + Tris
Known as your pushing muscles, the chest, shoulders, and triceps will learn to function better than ever before with this workout. This is accomplished with creative uses of instability and always forcing movement out of an athletic position.

Whether you want to build muscle mass or just slim and tighten what you've already got, these targeted shoulder and arm exercises will get you the results you want. 

4. Yoga X
Yoga is a vital part of any fitness regimen, and is an absolute must for an extreme program like P90X. This routine combines strength, balance, coordination, flexibility, and breath work to enhance your physique and calm your mind. Yoga X will leave you feeling energized, invigorated, and maybe even a little enlightened. 

5. Legs and Back
Get ready to squat, lunge, and pull for a total-body workout like no other. While the main focus of this workout lies in strengthening and developing the leg muscles (quads, hamstrings, glutes, and calves), there's also a handful of great pull-up exercises to give your legs a quick breather while you work the upper body. 

6. Kenpo X
Kenpo X was created to give P90X users a high-intensity cardiovascular workout packed with lots of punching and kicking combinations to improve balance, endurance, flexibility, and coordination. During this workout you'll learn some of the most effective ways to defend yourself, while at the same time getting your body in peak condition. 

7. X Stretch
Stretching is the one thing that will help you achieve a higher level of athleticism over a longer period of time. The X Stretch routine is an integral part of the program that will help prevent injuries and avoid plateaus. The extensive full-body stretches that make up this routine use disciplines from Kenpo karate, hatha yoga, and various sports to ensure that your body is fully prepared to meet all P90X challenges head-on. 

8. Core Synergistics
Each and every exercise in the Core Synergistics workout recruits multiple muscle groups to build and support the core (lumbar spine and trunk muscles), while at the same time conditioning your body from head to toe. Loaded with a variety of fun, unique, and challenging exercises, this routine will get you moving in all directions to maximize your P90X results. 

9. Chest, Shoulders and Triceps
Packed with an array of moves that target both large and small muscles, this workout will do wonders for your upper body. In just one full sequence you'll get a healthy dose of presses, flys, and extensions to push you to the brink. The results will be a stronger, leaner, and highly defined upper torso that will leave you looking awesome, with or without a shirt. 

10. Back & Biceps
With a host of curls and pull-ups, this routine will make it fun to flex those powerful biceps. But don't worry, ladies—by using lighter weight, you can focus on toning and tightening these showcase arm muscles without adding the size that most guys covet. Additionally, this workout will also provide some great back definition that everyone can appreciate. No matter what your goals, you will achieve them in dramatic fashion if you dig in and max out your reps. 

11. Cardio X
This low-impact cardio routine can be used in a variety of ways to meet your P90X goals. Use it in addition to your standard P90X workload when you want to burn some extra calories, or as a substitute if your body needs a break from the program's high-impact workouts. Whatever your reason for using Cardio X, you'll find it to be a fun, full-throttle, fat burning workout that will leave you feeling lean and mean. 

12. Ab Ripper X
The combination and sequence of movements in this unique workout taps into not only abdominal strength, but true core strength as well. Master these 11 highly effective exercises and you will achieve vital abdominal muscle strength to benefit your overall health and physical performance. You'll also develop that highly coveted 6-pack as you take Ab Ripper X to full throttle. It's extreme work that's better than any machine in any club.

Scott Sonnon - Primal Stress (2012)


Scott Sonnon - Primal Stress

 Scott Sonnon’s new Primal Stress program is a comprehensive, plug-and-play bodyweight training program that will help you develop a high standard of fitness by burning stubborn fat, building functional muscle, injury-proofing your body, and improving your conditioning level using a variety of movement skills and training protocols that were specifically created to build resiliency and toughness while fostering a sense of strength and empowerment.
I’ve spent the last week looking over the materials of Scott Sonnon’s new Primal Stress program. My hope was to gather enough information and insight to bring you a comprehensive product review that will help you decide whether or not this program would be a good fit for you, your goals, and circumstances.

I quickly discovered that Primal Stress encompasses far more than I originally expected, and includes far more educational material than any of Sonnon’s previous releases. Not only is it massive in scope (over 18 hours of video footage and over 500 pages of reading material); it’s also extremely deep. Naturally, one week is not nearly enough time to go over it all. And that’s why this isn’t going to be so much of a comprehensive product review as it will be a brief analysis based on my first impressions.

So, today, I’m not going to give you the point-by-point pro’s and con’s like I usually do in my other product reviews. The reason being that this program is much the same as Sonnon’s past product releases – only better – and I’d just be rehashing points I’ve made again and again in the past.

First things first, I’ve been anticipating this program’s release since Scott told me about it privately last year. I could tell he was very excited about this program because it would be different from his other work.

I’ve reviewed almost all of Sonnon’s programs that have been released since 2006 (and a handful prior to that). Having said that, I’ll be up front and say that it is my opinion that this is absolutely Scott Sonnon’s best work to date – by far. And it’s not just because the quality of information that he’s bringing or how well it’s packaged. It’s because this program has a little something called heart. It’s obvious upon first opening the manual that Scott truly poured his heart into this one, and he shares so much of himself in this distillation of his work.

It’s hard for me to describe exactly how this has impacted the product as a whole, but I think anyone who actually uses this program will know exactly what I mean. Suffice to say, this is not just another workout program. What Scott has done with Primal Stress is nothing short of revolutionary. This is a collection of work that truly matters and is greatly needed in our day and age.

What You Get + Brief Notes on the Pros and Cons

Primal Stress is truly a new evolution of training programs, and that’s certainly been the trend with most of Sonnon’s releases – each one a little better and more refined than the last one. So, if you’re already familiar with any of Sonnon’s past programs – in particular, his more recent TACFIT programs – then you already have a general idea of what to expect in terms of packaging (PDF manuals, progress tracking charts, instructional and workout follow-along videos, audio/video/PDF bonuses, etc.). And if you don’t, then just check out some of my past product reviews to get an idea.

Essentially, all of high points and advantages of Sonnon’s recent product releases also apply to the Primal Stress program. In other words, the best features and benefits from programs like TACFIT Commando, TACFIT Warrior, Tactical Gymnastics, etc. are all present in Primal Stress, too. Let me spell some of them out for you…

It’s a bodyweight training program that has different levels of difficulty for beginners to advanced trainees. The workouts are challenging, yet manageable because they are customizable to your current conditioning level. The workouts are brief, yet intense, and the overall training system is very balanced. That is, there is a complementary blend of high intensity and low intensity training – hard-style and soft-style. There are different training schedules to choose from to align the program with what’s best for your schedule and time availability. The progress tracking guides are extensive and user-friendly. This program is 100% plug and play – no planning or guesswork involved. Plus, the whole system is action-oriented so you have no excuse not to succeed.

Did you get all that? Yeah, good stuff, huh?

If you’d like to burn fat, build muscle, improve your conditioning and health, and completely transform your life then you absolutely must check out the Primal Stress special offer:

Like I said, Primal Stress takes the best of all of Sonnon’s past product releases and puts it into a new-and-improved comprehensive physical training system.

As is typical with CST and TACFIT programs, there are some quirks, too. Specifically, some of the video footage isn’t of the highest caliber. Don’t get me wrong because the instruction is there and it’s solid, but the overall video quality is so-so with background chatter, distracting sound effects during follow-along videos, wind interference, etc. If you’re looking for a Hollywood production, then look elsewhere. But honestly, I can’t even really consider this a mark off because anyone who truly uses this program won’t think twice about those things. They just don’t matter one bit.

I will mention one specific feature that is unique about Primal Stress and sets it apart from most of Scott’s previous programs. Primal Stress includes all six TACFIT training protocols. That is, there are six different kinds of intensity workouts. You won’t just be using one training protocol like most of Sonnon’s past releases (e.g. the 20/10×8 protocol that was used in TACFIT Commando, TACFIT Warrior, etc.). Primal Stress uses six different training protocols, which I think is a huge advantage because it will help you train different energy systems and keep the workouts interesting. More variety is always a big advantage in my book, and you’ll get plenty of it in Primal Stress.

But here’s the thing. This is so much more than just a physical training program. This is truly a lifestyle transformation system, and it’s been crafted in a way that transformation is inevitable – if you follow the program. I know it sounds cheesy – like we should all sit in a circle, hold hands, and talk about our goals in life. But that’s not what this is about at all. It’s very clear that Scott is trying to do much more than just transform people’s bodies. He wants to change lives through empowerment. And empowerment is exactly what you’ll nurture by using Primal Stress, by pouring your heart into a program that has had so much heart put into it already. This man is after you!

Program Benefits and Value

So, what can all this great stuff do for you? What kind of benefits can you expect to receive from putting your faith, money, time, and effort into this program? Well, it practically goes without saying that you’ll burn bodyfat and build lean muscle (aka go muscle, not show muscle). You’ll develop total body fitness – strength, power, endurance – you name it. The bottom line is that you’ll build a stronger, more resilient, more powerful body that is practically injury-proof. You’ll get that hard body physique that so many people desire, while also securing all the normal health and fitness benefits that an exercise program offers. That’s why it’s called health-first fitness.

But beyond that, you will set yourself on a path towards empowerment through the development of resiliency and toughness. I hope I don’t have to tell you what kind of lifestyle implications this could have. Suffice to say, everything about the way you live your life changes when you become empowered. All your hopes, dreams, and goals for yourself suddenly seem achievable. But more importantly, you believe that you – YOU – can do it. Not just that it’s possible, but that you CAN and WILL do it. Simply put, empowerment inspires faith in yourself, and faith is the driving force to positive lifestyle change.

Now, all that “change your life” stuff aside, this is an extremely high value for your money – by far, the highest value of any of Scott’s past product releases (even without the extra bonuses). He could be charging so much more for this, but I know Scott likes to over-deliver on his promises and make his programs accessible to as many people as possible. So it goes without saying that if you actually use this program, it will be worth many times the money you spend on it – even if you miss the introductory sale price.

The Bottom Line

This is hands-down, the single-best bodyweight training program available today, and I’ve tried almost all of them! So, I don’t care who you are. If you are willing to work hard to burn fat, build muscle, and improve your basic conditioning, AND you want a bodyweight training program that can be customized to your individual needs and circumstances, AND you want to be told exactly what to do every single day, then Primal Stress was created for you. The bottom line is that if you have a desire to dramatically transform your health, fitness, and your quality of life, then you need to buy Primal Stress today.
