FITNESS STANDARDS The intense physical and mental conditioning required to become a SEAL begins with Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training. During this six-month program, recruits are pushed to their physical and mental limits.

BUD/S students participate in challenging training, and daily encounter opportunities to develop and test their stamina and leadership. BUD/S training is extremely thorough -- both physically and mentally -- but through adequate preparation and a positive attitude you can meet its challenges with confidence.

Stretch PT Since Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are devoted to PT, dedicate at least 20 minutes on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday to stretching. Always stretch for at least 15 minutes before beginning any workout. Just stretching the previously worked muscles will make you more flexible and less likely to get injured.

Start your stretch at the top of your body and work downward. Stretch every muscle in your body from neck to calves, concentrating on your thighs, hamstrings, chest, back, and shoulders.

Stretch to tightness, not to pain. Hold the stretch for 10-15 seconds. DO NOT BOUNCE.

NUTRITION Proper nutrition is extremely important when participating in a demanding PT program. A proper diet provides all the nutrients for the body's needs and supplies energy for exercise. It also promotes growth and repair of tissue, and regulates bodily processes. The best sources of energy are complex carbohydrates like those found in potatoes, pasta, rice, fruits, and vegetables.

Carbohydrates, protein, and fat are the three energy nutrients. All three provide energy, but carbohydrates are the preferred energy source for physical activity. It takes at least 20 hours after demanding exercise to restore muscle energy, provided 600 grams of carbohydrates are consumed each day. During successive days of exhausting training like that at BUD/S, your energy stores become depleted. A high carbohydrate diet can help you maintain energy.

The majority of carbohydrates should come from foods that contain complex carbohydrates; e.g., bread, crackers, cereal, beans, peas, starchy vegetables, and other whole grain or enriched grain products. Fruits are also loaded with carbohydrates. During training, consume more than four servings of these food groups daily.

Water intake is vital. STAY HYDRATED! You should consume up to four quarts of water daily. Drink water BEFORE you feel thirsty. Substances such as alcohol, caffeine, and tobacco increase your body's need for water. Consumed in excess, these substances will harm your body and hinder your performance.

Vitamin supplements have not been proven effective. If you are eating a well-balanced diet, vitamin supplements should not be necessary.
