Samenvatting	In this book Colonel Rankin adapts the famous principles that have developed thousands of raw recruits into fighting Marines, and he makes those principles available to every reader. The exercises can all be performed without the tedious stress and strain usually associated with physical fitness. They can be made a part of the normal day's activity, and incorporated into the reader's own particular routines or schedules without loss of time. None of them require special equipment. Based on the idea of isometric contractions — a series of exercises which utilize all the muscles of the body — anyone who is willing to spend ten minutes a day can be assured of noticeable improvement in his physical well-being within one month. ABOUT THE AUTHORMarine Lieutenant Colonel WILLIAM H. RA... (Lees verder)NKIN made national headlines in 1959 when, forced to bail out of his jet fighter plane at almost 50,000 feet with no special pressure suit, he survived a seven-mile free fall, only to plunge into a violent storm that kept him in its turbulent grip for half an hour. He wrote a book about the astounding adventure, The Man Who Rode the Thunder, describing how his Marine Corps training had so well fitted him for the ordeal. A Marine sergeant in World War II, Colonel Rankin subsequently took flight training and flew with the "Fearless Four" --the first supersonic squadron -- in Korea before assuming command of the famed Marine Fighter Squadron 122. While writing Be Fit as a Marine, he was commanding officer of training battalion at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego, California.
