DVD Reviews of The Navy SEALs Workout
DVD Review: Not quite a seal of approval
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm not the most fit person in the world, but have had a care in the past for being in shape, and have recently renewed my interest. I'd used military-themed programs and books in the past to reasonable effect, and thought this might be a good one to follow, too.
It has several different sections - warm up, pull exercises, push exercise, ab workouts, etc. These are done in isolation from each other, with rest periods between the exercises. This doesn't lend to the routines having a cardio benefit. The downside for me was that I expected it to be tough and challenging, as would befit anything with the title `Navy Seal'. The pull-ups are done in sets of three - while it might be challenging on the third or fourth set at the start, it isn't that big a deal. The push-ups tend to be done in sets of ten. Excuse me? What is tough about that? Even in my non-exercise days I could do multiple sets of ten with no problem. For absolute beginners that might be necessary, but I wonder how many absolute beginners are going to get this?
The only workout section I found to be a challenge was the ab workout, and that was because I was introduced to a few new movements.
One thing that others have noted in reviews that I shall repeat is that a place to do pull ups and dips is necessary. This isn't made clear from the DVD packaging itself, and a major portion of this DVD workout involves pull-ups of different kinds (wide grip, behind-the-neck, etc.) and dips.
The instructors and trainees are on their best behavior, and the trainees seem to be much better in terms of doing the exercises than in documentaries I've seen where Seal trainees are being put through their paces. This was obviously filmed over some time that allowed the participants to get cleaned up between takes, making it a bit less realistic.
I have no doubt that Navy Seals are as tough as they come. I have no doubt that I can do everything in this video program and not be anywhere close to their fitness level. While I never really expected to (being past 40, etc.), I had hoped it would present more of a challenge than it did.
