Building the Super Soldier

Today is a rest day from the gym for me, so I thought I would share an interesting article I found about the fitness qualities of super soldiers:  the military and law enforcement elite tactical operators.  Ignore the supplement sales pitches and off-color comments and there's some good info here.  The fitness qualities listed are:

1. Stamina- Perform longer at a high level.
2. Strength and Power- "Strong people are harder to kill"- Mark Rippetoe.
3. Work Capacity- The more work you can handle, the longer you can remain in the fight.
4. Flexibility, Mobility, and Injury Prevention- You have to be able to move well.
5. Agility, Balance, and Coordination- Can't be tripping over your own feet on a high-risk building entry.
6. Look the Part- You have to look like you can handle business.

If you're going to spend time training to be a better tactical operator, might as well make sure you're getting some or all of these qualities in your training program.
