Week 162 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. 

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.

25: 1-mile walk. PT.

26: 2-mile walk. PT

27: Rest. 

28: 1/2-mile walk with 1-lb weight. PT.

29: 1/2 mile walk. PT. Grocery shopping, which means carrying in groceries. Call that my 1-lb weights, though it was actually much heavier, like a gallon of milk at around 8 lb twice.

30: 1/2-mile walk. PT.

31: 1/2-mile walk. PT.
