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.

23: 1-3/4+ mile walk. PT.

24: 2-mile walk. PT.

25: Rest.

26: 2-mile walk. PT.

27: Overslept. PT. A couple of hours on my feet, working in the kitchen. I'm more worn out by that than I am by my walks.

28: 2-mile walk. PT.

29: Overslept, again. PT. This is the pattern I used to have: Walk 2 miles 4 days a week and PT 6 days a week. Then again, I had nightmares last night. It's been a while.
