Working out with Navy Seals

How's your current fitness level and your mental fortitude?

I wanted to try something different and get a glimpse at the conditioning that our men in service do on a daily basis, more specifically SF. I began a new fitness program run by former Marine Recon & Navy Seal, Jack Walston.

www.sealpt.com

The program is available in various cities near Houston and in Central park in NYC which includes up to 4 weeks of grueling and intense excercise.

At the moment, I have completed the first 2-weeks of preperatory training lead by former seals, all who have been very professional and focused instructors. All have lead by example, which is a plus for those of us who rarely get to see this kind of leadership.

The first two weeks have been one day on, one day off. Each days routine lasts approximately one hour and fifteen minutes. I came prepaired in pretty good shape (see my routines in the fitness section to get a reference) and did not know what to expect....

We had days with medium distanced runs through trails and track broken up by stations of various calisthenics, such as push-ups, pull-ups, star jumps, lunges, 8-count body builders and more. Other days have emphasized more long-distance runs; others were mostly calisthenics.

I guarantee that you will get smoked even if you are in pretty good shape. There's some physical strength elements, but most of the work has been endurance, endurance and endurance. Did I mention endurance? It will bring your mind and focus into new states. I've also lost about 9 pounds and bootcamp phase hasn't started!

Just a sidenote, but SEALs are a Special Operations Force. The "Special Forces" are of the Army, and are another Special Operations Force.
