Books on How to Improve Fitness
The Army APFT improvement guide This is the complete APFT improvement guide. It covers more than just how to improve fitness, it covers ways for you to mentally prepare for the APFT. My brother used this to bring his PT score up from a 190 to a 250! He is continually improving, but those are numbers you cannot look away from. This book really works, it’s well worth the money. |
