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.
PT ~ Physical therapy using 2-lb and 1-lb weights, alternating days.
UB ~ Upper body exercises
I'm starting low, at 10, to restart my workouts, with no weights yet.
9: 1-mile walk. PT. UB.
10: 1-mile walk. PT
11: Rest.
12: 1-mile walk. PT. UB. Picked and cored blackberries. Yes, it's a workout, especially standing at the sink and crushing each berry by hand to remove the hard center.
13: 1-mile walk PT. 2 hours of walking around the botanical garden.
14: 1-mile walk. PT. UB. Made jam again.
15: 1-mile walk. I also carried a 1-lb weight in the hopes it will help straighten my arm. So far, it isn't straighter, but I am able to bend it more. Didn't expect that. PT.
