Maj. Sam McGrath, the former head of the British Army's elite Paratrooper Qualification and Selection Course, has assembled 150 workout moves to get you "Para Fit." The Paras are a Special Forces unit of the British Army. Like the US Army Rangers and the US Navy Seals, the Paras are known worldwide for the difficulty of their qualifying trials--a grueling 7-day process comprised of 8 tests of physical and mental endurance. The test is given at the end of a 20-week training program. <br><br>By following the six steps outlined in McGrath's new flip book, a person of average fitness will raise his or her endurance level to tackle five tests that have been adapted to civilian life from real-life Para selection course challenges.<br><br>Speaking about the connection between military and civilian fitness regimes, McGrath says, "Paras train for war, not exercise, and that translates brilliantly to life outside the army. Stress isn't something that's restricted to the battlefield; it is something that everybody has to deal with. If you're fit, both in your mind and your body, you're able to cope with that stress much better and that is exactly what the Para training course--and this book--is all about."
