What Navy SEALs are required to do to make it into BUD/S:
RIght up front: Never in a million years could I do what is required. However, I needed to start somewhere. Considering how fit the SEALs are, I figured it was a good place to start. So my SEAL puppy reps (SEALp) consist of girls' pushups, crunches, and flutter kicks, a SEAL training basic. I started with doing one of each. I've worked up to 50.
PT ~ Physical therapy using 2-lb weights M/W/F and 1-lb weight T/Th/S.
UB ~ Upper body exercises
BD ~ Belly dancing (my version of it, anyway)
The 26th: 2-mile walk. SEALp. PT. UB. BD.
The 27th: 3-mile walk. PT. BD. 1-1/2 hours trimming trees.
The 28th: Rest.
The 29th: 2-mile walk. SEALp. PT. UB. BD. Cooking is a workout. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. After several hours at the stove and counter, my back is screaming at me. Interestingly enough, I expected this. What I didn't expect: I did some stretching, and the pain eased, a lot. I'm in much better shape.
The 30th: PT. BD.
May ~ New month and adding a new exercise to my SEAL routine because those are the ones I do on the floor. Hip raises. Started out with 10.
The 1st: 2-mile walk. SEALp. PT. UB. BD.
The 2nd: PT. BD.
The first picture was taken in February 2012. The second picture was taken in June 2012. Inspiration, at least to me:
