I am a senior right now in HS, i just finished corss-country like a week ago, track starts in feb, should i still be running during this time?, Im in the DEP program right now, but after i finish boot camp, im under the strand 9 program, heh *means i will be attending a class right after boot camp to better my score on the ASVAB*, i passed just barely with a 35, tho it was my first time taking the test, so im pretty sure ill get 50 + next time. but to get to the point, i dont have a pull up or dip bar at home, i do have a swimming pool, im not really close to a gym , so i basically just do sit ups and push ups at home..i have been doing the push ups and sit ups from the schedule that this site has for getting in shape....i just havnt run in awhile...
any tips on what other exercises would help me pls?
obtw..im 6 ' tall and 165 pounds..

I would suggest investing in a pull up and dip bar. You can get both in one. Do lots of everything and don't slow down, from the start of boot camp depending on your A school it might only be four months until you are checking orders into BUD/S so be prepared. What i just said is second hang knowledge, i am not a SEAL. But the pull up bar is essential.

I'm not a SEAL, but from what I hear from other SEALs on this site you will haft to start doing at least 5 times the physical excersize that you do now to evenhave a chance in BUD/s! God bless and good luck!

Tfwmissions,please read the post called "To all SEALs my apologies". There are somethings in there you need to follow. Read it closes and learn from the mistakes COG and I have made. You are doing the samething, so please read and view what we put to all the SEALs. Thanks
I suggest following the exercise regiment posted on this web site. It is designed to prepare you hysically for the rigors of BUD/S training. What you need to concentrate on other than that is mentally preparing your mind to never quit or give up while your in BUD/S. Hope this helps.....

My brother and I asked a SEAL the same thing. Do everything you can to complete the warning order on this site. Most BUD/S injuries are of the lower extremities. This means keep running. The SEAL told us that you need "a strong gut. A strong gut equals a strong back."

I'm not a SEAL.
Running and swimming are reported to be the biggest problems that guys in BUD/S face - after mental challenges. So I'd suggest focusing on the two of those, pulling your times down to well below the PFT times. Develop really good endurance so you can keep on fighting.

Thanks. Im supposed to be getting a pull up/dip bar here pretty soon for $100 , cant wait . Are there any ways i could prepare my self to overcome hypothermia, I have read on earlier posts about sitting in the tub with cold water or something, My pool out bak hos no heater lol, so im thinking of waking up early in the morning and jumping in..is this a good way?
thanks
They say you can prepare for the cold water just about as much as you can a kick in the balls. I'm not sure if there is a way to "overcome" hypothermia since I think it is some natural thing that sets in. I'm not 100% on that one though. Good luck maybe I'll see you in the Teams in a few years (I also aspire to be a frog). Later.

I'm not a SEAL, but I do work with them...
Anyway, they say its 10% Physical and 90% Mental....they have seen lanky students passed Hellweek than the more leaner guys. Thing is, during the course of the Hellweek or any other SEAL exams, you are going to ask yourself "is this worth the pain? Is this worth it?" You will ask those questions over and over when you are exhausted---pushed to your breaking point. I have seen SEALs that looks lanky but are tough as hell.
As for the training thingy, you have to RUN. Run on boots. Oh yeah, one more thing, don't go in that Seaman/Fireman/Airman Apprenticeship course. Get a rate like GM or something.
Good luck shipmate.
