Navy SEALs require an extraordinarily high level muscular strength, flexibility and cardiovascular fitness to carry out assigned missions. With over 220 exercises, 90+ movies and 20 calculators and hundreds of pages of reference material, Navy SEAL Fitness helps you to train like a Navy SEAL.
To train for these physically demanding tasks, the Navy created The Navy SEAL Physical Fitness Guide. The authors of this comprehensive guide, physicians and physiologists, were chosen because of their special qualifications in the area of physical fitness and their knowledge of the SEAL community. Their expertise ensured the guide was written with a goal of expanding the individual Navy SEAL's knowledge of attaining and retaining a high level of fitness.
Because SEALs train for mission related performance, the objective for every workout is elite fitness, validated by the ability to perform every task at the level necessary to accomplish any mission – no matter what. What does that mean? It means that training must be comprised of broad and inclusive, constantly varied functional movements that are performed at high intensity in order to prepare for the unknown.
The Navy SEALS are an elite branch of the U.S. Special Forces whose reputation for outstanding physical fitness is unparalleled. Now everybody that wants to improve his or her health, strength and endurance can take advantage of this information.

Very comprehensive
Let me start by saying that this is a good App. It contains a lot of detail and background knowledge. Almost too much detail and overly wordy at times. But this maybe down to the way I want to use this App. I don't look at it for a while, then need to get in shape for a specific role, say the Paras 10. In this case I want quick details a demo video and get training. So if you have time, you will love this. It's well written with some nice videos. It just needs a quick starters 'watch and do' section with appropriate headers. It's still a good App.
App

Great app has every thing in one place from food, workouts etc etc
AWFUL
If you are expecting an APp to give you workout routines this is not the one for you!
The whole interface is truly awful and only gives you a handful of workout tables, that are not interactive!! Save your money!
Great app!
Awesome app. Recommend it to everyone
