Now, for regular Joes and Janes, he shares the secret to his amazingly effective regimen—simple exercises that require nothing more than the resistance of your own bodyweight to help you reach the pinnacle of fitness and look better than ever before.\n\nArmed with Mark Lauren’s motivation techniques, expert training, and nutrition advice, you’ll see rapid results by working out just thirty minutes a day, four times a week—whether in your living room, yard, garage, hotel room, or office. Lauren’s exercises build more metabolism-enhancing muscle than weightlifting, burn more fat than aerobics, and are safer than both, since bodyweight exercises develop balance and stability and therefore help prevent injuries. Choose your workout level—Basic, 1st Class, Master Class,and Chief Class—and get started, following the clear instructions for 125 exercises that work every muscle from your neck to your ankles. Forget about gym memberships, free weights, and infomercial contraptions. They are all poor substitutes for the world’s most advanced fitness machine, the one thing you are never without: your own body.\n\nReview\n\n\"Mark Lauren puts the strength-training techniques of SpecOps into a comprehensive and easy to understand program that can be done by anyone, anywhere, anytime, paving the way for anyone looking to get into the best shape of his or her life.\"--Gregory Peterman, sergeant, Green Beret\n\"Gain control of yourself through your own body's gym!\"--Mike Fisher, commander, 82nd Airborne Division; U.S. Army Ranger; colonel, U.S. Army\n\"Perfect for our mobile age of road warriors, this terrific book lets us carry around a full gym in our heads!\"--General James Abrahamson, U.S. Air Force\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eMark Lauren has effectively prepared over 700 trainees for the extreme physical demands of the most elite levels of the special operations community.

Mission Success: Lean, Strong, and Confident\n\nI WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND, unlike many other fitness authors, I do not train movie stars, television celebrities, models, or other personalities whose livelihoods hinge on being fit. I train those whose lives do. For a decade I’ve used bodyweight exercises to create the leanest, strongest, most confident people of our civilization.\n\nI honed the programs and myriad exercises in this book while preparing hundreds of trainees for the extreme demands of the most elite levels of the United States Special Operations community. I have spent years developing new training principles, and observing the results. A stellar record led the top command to buy into my system. The military’s most advanced forces–from Navy SEALs to Army Green Berets to Air Force Special Tactics Operators–use these exercises as the backbone to their strength training, and now I bring them to you. Now, for the first time, men and women outside SpecOps have the opportunity to reach the pinnacle of fitness, with an amazingly small sacrifice of your time. Clear, concise, and complete, I bring these exercises into your living room, bedroom, hotel room, garage, yard, office, wherever you like.
