Yeh, its an excellent program and works wonders!

I have been working on this, with a combination of circuits I do for rudgy, and it has helped no end. Shame I've got shin splints, cos I actually enjoy training

Good program ill probably adopt it but look at this

Physical Screen Test 1. 500 yard swim using breast and/or side stroke in 12:30 Ten minute rest

2. Perform minimum of 42 pushups in 2 minutes Two minute rest

3. Perform minimum of 50 situps in 2 minutes Two minute rest

4. Perform at least 6 pull ups, no time limit Ten minute rest

5. Run 1.5 miles wearing boots and pants in 11:30

Although this is only the screening tests surely they should up the lower limit!?!! They must get a lot of timewasters if this is the minimum entry standard. (DISCLAIMER: I am not doubting the elitness of the SEALS only the low screening standards)

When I was in the States earlier in the year I saw a series of programs on the Military Channel following a batch up to and through hell week. Yes it is hard looking and the minimum standards above in the earlier post are irrelevant. It's like the posted job descriptions for the ML2s course which is 50 pressups and 18 pullups. Fine and easy but can you do this 100 times a day plus long runs, climbing, no sleep, always wet...

Just read this and I would say - beware!

Looking to get back into some kind of training again, just asking what you lot think about this plan:

Any good? Looking for a nice long one with a steady progessive build up (not done much seriously for about a year).

Don't even think of following the SEAL Team training plan. They follow that plan AFTER months of training. Especially don't do it if you are a teenager with thoughts of joining the Royal Marines. You will almost certainly suffer some sort of injury.
When you join, the training is designed to get you up to a certain level of fitness.
However, it will help if you are reasonably fit in the first place.
I don't mean SEAL Team fit - I mean reasonably fit!!

Try doing :-
1. A daily run, only a mile or so.
2. Followed by press-ups. Try 30, in two batches of 15.
3. Followed by sit-ups - same as above
4. Followed by "burpees" as above.

Once you start to find that comfortable, increase the run and increase the repetitions.

Also try to play a team game at least once a week. Rugby and Football are both good.

Once you join you will find that altough the PT and training is tough, you will be trained to cope with it.
The training you have done previously can only help but please don't think that getting to SEAL Team level will be good for you. Without supervision it can be very dangerous.
