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.
Hip lifts
PT ~ Physical therapy using 2-lb and 1-lb weights, alternating days.
UB ~ Upper body exercises
I've worked up to 50 and then 10 more.
BD ~ Belly dancing (my version of it, anyway)
The 6th: 2-mile walk. SEALp. PT. UB. BD.
The 7th: 2-1/2-mile walk. PT. BD. 15 minutes of yard work.
The 8th: Rest.
The 9th: Rain, no walk. SEALp. PT. UB. BD.
The 10th: Nope, didn't do my PT. I did do a bit of weightlifting bringing in the groceries. They're actually considerably heavier than the weights I usually use. I have to be really careful. Really. I can't carry more than one gallon of milk at a time. That's about 8 lb. Maddening.
The 11th: 2-mile walk. SEALp. PT. UB. BD.
The 12th: PT. BD.
