i just got a request this afternoon to help get the word out about the Navy Seal Fitness Challenge returning to Michigan this year. It is in Kentwood, Michigan on Saturday, March 20. i have the information flyer linked at michigantri.com
this test mirrors the one administered to prospective Seals and includes swimming, push-ups, pull-ups, sit-ups, and running.
Time to start doing pull up and push up ladders…
I did the Seattle version of this test last year; dead-hang pull ups the way they do them are HARD; the only thing I did badly on. Overall it was a blast.
the run should be in boots and cammi pants, makes it a little harder. this test is a great workout, but if any of you want to get fit strength and cardio wise i highly recommend following sealfit.com. Its not gay like crossfit, its real shit and it kicks my ass every time i do the workout. its ideal for triathletes that want strength as well as endurance.
I did the one a couple years ago when it was in Dearborn. i was able to ride my bike to the event (about 35miles) and ride home. It was my excuse for not doing so great on the run. The rebuilt shoulder was my excuse on the push ups, but i really had no excuse for the sit ups.
It was a geat time an dI got to meet and have my picture taken with David Goggins. Pretty cool.
