Thursday, 07.29.10: Active Recovery
End-urability: Rucksack Hump or Mountain Hike. Medium distance (1-2 hours, 4 - 8 miles, 30# load)
Notes: Equipment: Ruck. Active Recovery is about moving your body using a Long-Slow-Distance mode and having fun. It is also a great opportunity to get out of the artificial environment of the gym and practice a sport, take a hike, etc. Practicing your internal awareness skills of breath control, meditation and mindfulness are recommended and easier to do while alone on a trek, or wave. The WOD is merely a recommendation for Active Recovery - do whatever floats your boat.

Tuesday, 07.27.10: Free Will
Warm Up: 21 - 15 - 9 Pistols, Push-ups
Work Capacity: AFAP:
- Pull-up Ladder 1 - 10 - 1
- As Many Reps as Possible in 5 minutes of 1-arm snatch (40# - each arm)
Endurance: Run 10k.
Notes: Equipment: Pull-up bar, KB or DB. Pistols are 1-leg squats. Each leg counts as a rep. For Pull-up ladder you do 1 rep, then 2...up to 10. Then you do 10, 9, 8...down to 1. Rest as little as possible between sets. You drop off the bar after each set. For 5 minute amrap snatch - do 5 minutes for each side - 10 minutes total. Rest as needed during and between sets. The crux of this wod is not the warm-up or WC, rather the 10k run. Get through these first two elements and get on with the run. If time is short, then do the run first, and get in what you can of the WU and WC.

Durability: Plank hold 3 x 2 minuttes. Stretch for 10 minutes.
Notes: Equipment: Oly Set, rower. Scale O/H Squats for form. A note about SEAL FIT and timed WODs. We are not a sport like CrossFit. We use CrossFit as a tool to develop work capacity and believe in benchmarking and time workouts to keep our intensity level up. However, I am concerned with the accuracy and integrity of times being posted for SEAL FIT WODs. Often they are half what we do at HQ, and truly just do not seem possible, unless I and the guys at HQ who do these WODs daily are actually a bunch of wimps, which is unlikely.
Our main focus with SEAL FIT is with developing strength and stamina, endurance, mental toughness, the capacity for hard work over any time domain, teamwork, leadership and a heightened state of awareness that comes from this type of training and living life fully. We are not concerned with beating anyone or winning a contest or sporting event (though that is nice if you are a competitive athlete.) The monthly challenges are designed to develop mental toughness. Team competitions are designed to develop team spirit, leadership and how to be a good teammate. If you can train SEAL FIT with a team you will receive the full benefits of the program, as we do here at HQ. I hope everyone here understands and can embrace this philosophy, and those so concerned with posting winning times can focus on more important things.
