Navy Seal Workout By Al Parker, MD At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

So you saw some little blonde morsel at the bar rubbing up against a dude who says he was a Navy SEAL. Was he really? Or did he just know he looked like one, so he figured he might use it to his advantage. Fast forward to now, when you just typed in “Navy SEAL Workout” into the google search bar. So, here we are……and you want to know how to workout, or look like you workout like a SEAL, eh? No problem.

There really is no secret to the Navy SEAL Workout. These guys train day in and day out. They are super-fit because they burn calories all day everyday. That’s their job. So, how do you look get your body to look like you burn calories all day everyday? Simple, just use a bit of mathematics. The deal is, the Navy SEALs are burning more calories than they eat. Consequently, they look (and are) super-fit and ripped because they are breaking down every last bit of fat on their body to use as fuel for all of their rigorous activity. Essentially they are creating a calorie deficit, or are calorie “even”, everyday. So you can either do intense physical exercise 24 hours a day to burn off those 3 1000 calorie Arby burgers, or just find some food that doesn’t have such a high caloric value. So, if you create a “calorie deficit” for yourself, then you will start to create that same look. Of course, you can’t just cut calories without doing some resistance training. You’ll just look like an anorexic 13 year old girl. But the good news is, you don’t have to run 8 miles a day and swim 14 miles a week. Thirty to 40 minutes of resistance training 6 days each week, with proper nutrition will give you what you are looking for.

So, find out how many calories your body requires, eat about 200 calories less than that each day, and find a good resistance training program that you can do 3 days each week. Alternate that with a cardio workout 3 days each week (including abdominal work 3 days a week) and you’ve got yourself a bad looking body in anywhere from 2-6 months depending on your current level of fitness. The trick to eating healthy is finding food you like to eat, and that keeps you full. If you are starving all the time, you’ll just end up eating whatever is around…..which, in our world, is junk. So, go to the grocery store, stay on the outside (the isles inside are the ones with all the crap) and start trying whole, unprocessed food you think you might like. Also, keep in mind that whey protein will make you feel satisfied for longer periods of time than many other foods (especially simple carbohydrates….they make you hungry FAST!).

What DO the SEALS do for fitness? Calestenics, plyometrics, running, and swimming baby!! HOORAH! What do YOU have to do? Here’s a start. Three days a week do a resistance training circuit. Push-ups, bent over rows, military press, bicep curl, tricep pushdowns, lunges and squats. Do each exercise for 30 seconds then go on to the next. Get at least 10 reps of each, and make the last three REALLY tough! If the last three are not tough, go up in reps (max 15, except push-ups, lunges and squats) or weight. At the end of each circuit rest or 1 -2 minutes. Do the circuit 3 times for 2 weeks. Then add another circuit each week after that, up to 5 circuits. The other three days do aerobic exercise 20-30 minutes. Pick one you like. Get a class at the gym, stair-master, run, bike, swim, whatever you want, just make sure you like it so you’ll keep doing it. Every 3-4 weeks, change up your routine somehow. Change the reps, weight, timing, anything….just change it. Keep your body confused. Don’t let it get used to the exercises. This will keep you getting stronger and leaner. Before you know it, you’ll LOOK like you’ve been doing a Navy SEAL workout….without all that killing in between your working out!!
