THE PARA FITNESS FLICK BOOK

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. By following the six steps outlined in McGrath’s new flipbook, 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.
