Super Soldier Performance

I talk on here a lot about becoming Jason Bourne or Mitch Rapp. I read a post today about the fitness elements of becoming a Super Soldier (spy, SEAL, Ranger, etc).

Here are my fitness elements of becoming a Super Solider:

  • Durability--you must stay injury-free so you can do your job
  • Strength--you must be able to move your weight and other weight (barbells, kettlebells, sandbags, etc.)
  • Power--you must be able to move weight quickly (with force)
  • Speed--you must be able to move your body quickly 
  • Agility--you must be able to change directions and stay under control
  • Stamina--you must be able to move efficiently for long periods of time
  • Flexibility--you must be able to move your body through full ranges of motion
Later this week, I'll write about how to train for each of these elements.

Are there any elements you would add? Share them here?

*Thanks to Stephane Robert for this idea.
