Train like a Marine with this split 5-day workout routine and get military fit.
The following split 5-day workout routine gives you a taste of the functional fitness training favoured by the military. While you’re at it you’ll torch fat, build muscle and find out what it means to dig deep.
For all-round fitness, special forces like the British Navy’s Royal Marine commandos are second to none. The average Royal Marine may not be able to bench or squat much more than the seasoned gym-goer, or run a marathon faster than most, but they fare exceptionally well in CrossFit-type activities.
Their cardio and muscular endurance abilities are first-rate, not to mention their mental strength – crafted during commando training and remaining with them throughout every fitness session they undertake. This all boils down to the intensity level at which they can work – and it’s intensity that’s key to any transformation programme.
