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.
10: Short walks. PT. UB. Stretch. Heat.
11: Short walks. PT. UB. Stretch. Heat.
12: Rest.
13: Short walks. PT. UB. Stretch. 5 minutes on an elliptical, which is how my physical therapist started me 10 years ago after the epidural. It was a bit disturbing to hear this repeated snap from my ankle area.
14: Short walks. PT. UB. Stretch. Heat. Tennis ball. Crumbs. Walked out of the grocery story and felt a tearing sensation above my ankle and below my calf. Same feeling after my fall in February. Maybe I should have kept the elliptical to a couple minutes.
15: Short walks. PT. UB. Stretch.
16: Short walks. PT. UB. Stretch. Heat. Tennis ball.
