Summary: <br> Mark Lauren is a bodyweight expert. His fitness method is for “real men and women with real lives … giving the ability to train alone anywhere, any time, without the crutch of personal trainers and gyms.”<br> Mark honed the programs and myriad exercises in his book, “<a href="http://a.co/fXEmx37" target="_blank" rel="noopener">You Are Your Own Gym</a>“, while preparing hundreds of trainees for the extreme demands of the most elite levels of the US Special Operations community. The military’s most advanced forces – from Navy SEALs to Army Green Berets to Air Force Special Tactics Operators – use these exercises as the backbone to their strength training.<br> Lauren says, “What if I told you that you already have the most advanced fitness machine ever created? Your own body.”<br><br> We have a great discussion about his time in the Air Force combat control pipeline, failing by one push up and having to start over. Then becoming an instructor in that same pipeline and developing a specific physical training program for AFSOC warriors.<br> A few topics we cover:<br> <br> * What movements do you need in order to survive?<br> * Developing skills not muscles<br> * Mobility and stability<br> * Spending more time on the ground<br> * His thoughts on CrossFit<br> * One dumb decision in Thailand got his mouth wired shut<br> <br> This guy is unique. This guy is cyborg. I really like what he teaches. Maybe you will too. And I can’t wait for his app to come out in Jan 2018.<br> Learn more about Mark, his programs, books and videos below:<br> <a href="http://www.marklauren.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MarkLauren.com</a><br> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/MarkLauren2/featured" target="_blank" rel="noopener">YouTube</a><br> Give Mark a shoutout on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mark_lauren_training/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/yourowngym?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter</a><br> *PTC is now on <a href="https://www.patreon.com/patriottothecore" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Patreon</a>.
