the Navy Seals workout You sniveling little wiener. You puny, weak, flimsy shadow of a man. Get up off that easy chair and get your body into gear! Pump some life into those stickman arms! Get rid of that flopping beer gut! What are those things in your trash can? Candy wrappers?!! Learn to eat real food! I love the smell of fried worms in the morning. That paddling around in the pool--you dare call that swimming?! Get out there and swim across the bay! At night! With weights! Then get back here and run, boy. Wearing your boots. Don't even show your face until you've covered 14 miles. Phew, I'm tired already. You think you have a good exercise routine going?

So you think you're tough? Here are some of the physical requirements that every Navy Seals candidate must pass before he can be considered for approval. Take a look and see how you currently match up:
A number of important physiological issues aren't even shown here, but are equally important. Like eye sight. Your pressure and oxygen tolerance. Your ability to work with a team. How disciplined you are. How well you take orders. And you can't be over 28 years of age. But for now let's just concentrate on the physical aspects. The following page describes the Seals' suggested training regimen. Next: the mind-numbing details of the Navy Seals workout |
