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 1st: 2-mile walk. SEALp. PT. UB. No weights today. My back is improved, but still not up to pre-injury.
The 2nd: 4-mile walk. PT. Light PT. Still a bit of back pain.
The 3rd: Rest.
The 4th: 2-mile walk. SEALp. PT. UB. BD.
The 5th: 1-mile walk. PT. BD.
The 6th: 3-mile walk. SEALp. PT. UB. BD.
The 7th: PT. BD.
The first picture was taken in February 2012. The second picture was taken in June 2012. Inspiration, at least to me:
