     There are many young people who would may be interested in a military career, but may not be aware of the physical fitness requirements involved.  For those who may consider life in the Marines their cup of tea, a great introductory book about the Corps has been revised and expanded by author Andrew Flach.  

    “The United States Marine Corps Workout--Revised Edition” (2004, 219 Pages, Five Star Fitness Guides/Hatherleigh Press), may appear to be a thin volume…however, it packs a lot of great fitness information within its covers.  While it is always advisable to check with one’s physician before starting any exercise program, if one is serious about joining up with the Marines, this book will get a potential ‘boot’ started on their way of understanding the introductory physical and mental requirements for membership among the few, the proud…the Marines!

    The book is divided into four parts.  Of course, one can not fully grasp the Corps without understanding a bit of its history, which is where the work begins.  Later in the book, Flach takes you through some of the basic language of the Marines.  In between, you will get the full range of exercises and workouts involved in the building of a Marine--including a section on the fitness program for those Marines who are selected for OCS--Officer Candidate School.

    “The United States Marine Corps Workout--Revised Edition” by Andrew Flach.  A great beginning tool for those who want to consider a life of military service among the best of the best.  It is available through your favorite electronic book seller, or may be obtained through Five Star Fitness Guides/Hatherleigh Press.  To be informed is the best beginning about going into any career.  This work gives one that needed information about the Corps, right up front.
