Week One-Hundred Two of REAL...

REAL - Reduce stress Exercise Adequate sleep Lower caloric intake

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.
Hip lifts
PT ~ Physical therapy using 2-lb weights
UB ~ Upper body exercises
BD ~ Belly dancing (my version of it, anyway)

This week I'm shaking things up, trying different things. I was reading about how cardio is great for health but not great for burning calories, not like weight lifting/resistance.

Some of the changes worked. Some didn't. It's heating up, so I need to see if there's another way to do some of this.
