Do you want a program that burns fat, builds your endurance and gives you functional strength?
I have no doubt that the program below works, but it does take commitment and determination. The exercises are simple, you will not need to learn any fancy movements or use high tech machines.
After you have lost your fat and have packed on muscle, you might want to try out for the NAVY SEALs and find out if you have what it takes to make it.
Navy SEALs, in order to pass their Physical Fitness Tests, have to:
-Swim 500 yards in 12:30 (though 8:00-9:00 is better)
*Rest 10 mins
-Max Push-Ups in 2 mins (42 is minimum, 90+ is better)
*Rest 2 mins
-Max Situps in 2 mins (52 is minimum, 90+ is better)
*Rest 2 mins
-Max Pullups - no time limit (8 is minimum, 15+ is better)
*Rest 10 mins
-1.5 mile run (11:30 is maximum, 9 mins or less is better)
