Commando Workout

     Several years ago, when I was a more-or-less disillusioned sailor nearing the end of a loooong career, deployed to East Africa I came across this routine. The site I found it on said that the developer of this had made it for Canadian Special Operations troops. 

     I did this for about 2-3 months there and, as I recall, it was a real kicker of a routine! I offer it now, to you all, for your training benefit and fun!

     Please, tell me how it works for you. If there is anything you want to know more about, just let me know.
