THE U.S. Navy SEAL Workout!
Who must be in top physical shape to perform their job? Who must utilize all muscle in order to accomplish their task?
I'm not talking about professional bodybuilders, I'm talking about our nation's elite fighting force - The U.S. Navy SEALs. These brave men are not worried about how they look in front of the judges, but how they are judged by their superiors.
Living by the mentality that they must perform to the best of their ability on every mission is why they are so successful. But how do these men get in shape in that short period of time called basic training?
Bodybuilding takes years to come across the perfect physique and even then, some bodybuilders are still not happy with the results. The SEALs take a different approach to training, they are concerned with strength and endurance, not symmetry and hair loss products. In this article, I will outline a Navy SEAL workout someone gave to me.
Do You Have What It Takes To Be A Navy SEAL?
This program is about 9 weeks. During this program, you should notice your endurance soaring to heights never imagined. Like Navy SEAL training, this program will break you - only the mentally strong will survive and a new, strengthened man will emerge.

Conclusion
As you can see, this program builds your endurance and your strength. Also, looking at this program, rest days are few and far between. Hence, one should take in an adequate supply of the necessary nutrients and water.
There is no doubt that such a program as this one will work, however, doing this program requires commitment and determination. The exercises are simple - they involve no sophisticated movements or machines.
This Program Requires Commitment & Determination.
After the fat has been shed and the muscle is packed on, try out for the SEALs and see if you can make it.

I looked at the end of the first 9 weeks and thought, "It's not that bad". I then looked further down and as hard it may seem, I want to try this out!

I found something like this on the net. It was a 16 week programme. I only swam once a week and run 3x a week. But regarding strength, I had a PFT and managed 86 push ups in 2mins which I was well chuffed. Would reccommend, but stay committed (I didn't)

No run each mile in 8:30, so running three miles at a 8:30 pace should take you 25 min and 30 sec.

I would like to know who this "someone" was that gave the workout. Looks really interesting and good to do, but wonder if this is in anyway similar to what the Seals do (not that they give out that kind of info, i am sure). My husband is AD in the Navy and we have had past discussions about this type of training, and if females could complete it. I might give it a try, just to end our debates!

As regards the sit-ups and push-ups, I am actually trying to not take a break at all between them. If I do, it's as short as possible. But it's up to you I guess. How are you finding it so far?
BlingthaBeast

Not that I have seen. And I've been looking. I'm guessing that if you can't get into the pool, then some other bodyweight exercise with resistance would do. I'm thinking maybe a rowing machine if ya get me. On a decent resistance for the 15mins initially, gradually increasing as the program dictates.

This is how we got the article, so I won't be changing it. However if people want to increase the difficulty of the program then adding the running to week 3 would probably be fine. Just be prepared for the extra load and plan recovery times appropriately.
This looks like an incredible program. Good luck to everyone who tries it!

Do not. The risk of a stress factor, due to the intensity and the shock on the body, by week 3, the risk for a stress fracture is high. Honestly, it looks to be solid, and somewhat like what we did during Air Force Basic Training PT sessions, 5 times a week. They focused on 3 mile plus runs at about an 8:30 speed, along with pushups, flutter kicks (killer ab endurance workout), and squat thrusts. Yeah. But nothing, nothing beats this one.

To joao7, for a program like this I would take protein, Amino Acid blend like Xtend and possibly Glutamine, all to help with recovery

I did this workout in high school. It was amazing. I can tell you that this is very similar to what all US Special Operations Forces use in general (its missing the O-Courses, moto training, leg levers, star jumpers, cold, wet, sand, heat, gear, and the list goes on) If you do this workout, supersetting the push-ups and -sit-ups as well as the dips and pull-ups and you never stop or quit until the runs are complete, then you could develop the physical (and mental) strength necessary to give you a solid chance of at least completing BUD/SEALs school. But hey if not then you will gain a thick yet athletic build that will make you feel like you could be one. HOOYAH. BTW I am not a U.S.Navy SEAL.

Could someone please tell me if this is like an advanced workout or if someone such as myself who has the drive and motivation but may not be in the best shape of my life. I have lots of strength but not much for endurance, seems me and lactic acid get along too well for my liking.
