A military soldier is one with elite training and a very high level of fitness. To even be accepted into the armed forces you must first make it through basic training, which alone is considered very tough.
Intro
So if you already have your basics down, and you are looking for a more challenging workout, military style will definitely put you to the test. To even get started with something like this you must be very self-disciplined and able to push yourself to the limit, as there will be no drill sargent giving orders to push you through the exercises.
One thing you will notice about the military style workout is that there are no defined number of reps in a set. You do everything until failure.
The below military style workout plan is an example taken from the navy seals. Some branches of the military may have higher demands, and some may be not quite as demanding.
