Reddit reviews The Complete Guide to Navy Seal Fitness, Third Edition: Updated for Today's Warrior Elite

You dont need to build muscle. Military exercise regiments are short to long distance endurance based. You wont gain much by being able to do higher strength stuff. You should just focus on increasing your pullup reps and getting your pushups and run times to be similarly competitive.

The ultimate guide to Navy Seal fitness

This worked great to get me in shape for Rugby, because after i did the 12 week program i layered his stuff into my weight based workouts. definitely worth the price

Navy Seals workout guide. Most of the exercises can be done without equipment or with minimal equipment (like a pull up bar or chairs). And it's very muscle intensive. Of course, you have to start eating a lot more protein, to bulk up, too.

1. When you meet with an OSO mention this, but NROTC/MO is certainly not your only option. The OSO will explain PLC, FAP/TAP to you as additional options. You certainly won't need to transfer to a new school.
   
2. You're definitely not too small. There was a female Lt in my TBS platoon that was maybe 5'0" and she did fine. Your pack at OCS will be manageable but you'll struggle with the packs at TBS that are regularly over 100#, but others before you have done it, so you can too.
   
3. If you want a straightforward "do these exact things," I'd recommend Stew Smith's 12 Weeks to BUD/S program. Obviously you aren't going to BUD/S but the fundamentals of his programming translate well to USMC OCS. If you want to make your own routine, look into "Run Less, Run Faster" or any reputable 5k training program, do upper body pyramids until you puke, get in the gym to do squats, deadlifts, and back work, and spend the time to adequately recover with stretching and/or a foam roller.
   
4. Talk to your OSO about whatever specific medication you are taking. This could likely be a waiver but he/she will know.

You won't be running anywhere near that in basic. But you'll get a good workout with dive motivators. If I were you depending on how much time you have till you ship out, I would recommend pickingTHIS up and going through the program. Great program and will get you in the shape you need to succeed in Coronado. Best of luck.

I'm going to apply this week or next week (after I get my references sorted out and study up for the CFAT) and was wondering if I could have some advice.

I'm a 19 year old who hasn't done too much with his life aiming for nothing but NCM Regular Infantry and want know what my chances might be at getting in for next year's January BMQ course since I really doubt I'd make it for September this year. I figured if I hand in my application before the very end of this month I should be able to make it for January selection at least. Looking on the army.ca forums I saw that a few people who have applied earlier this year have gotten the September BMQ course for Infantry, so I'm thinking my application should have enough time if things goes well on their end. I've lived in Canada all my life and my parents have resided here for a long time, so I think I should have no problems. The references I'm going to use are my supervisor from work, a supervisor from my old job as a writer for articles on the Internet, a senior from my old job (both old job references are from America, but I read that references from different countries are okay), and a best friend/tutor that has helped me in highschool with graphic design work. I feel like I'll be ready for the interview since I'm always reading about military stuff everyday.

I'm currently following the workout guides from The Complete Guide To Navy SEAL Fitness to get in shape and I'm also taking Adult 1 swimming classes. I'm not too good with the water yet, but I hope to be able to swim decently at least by the time the lessons are over so I'm prepared for basic's swimming portion. As for preparing for the CFAT, I'm using Khan Academy to help me brush up on some much needed mathematical skills.

I pretty much just want to know if I'm on the right path towards preparing and getting everything done for the application and the Canadian Forces. I think about joining the military everyday and want to make sure I don't screw up anything.
