The Navy SEAL Workout

Yes.

I did it.

I'm sure it helps to train at the Armoury with a friend who is in the Army. The motivation is definitely there. We push each other when we can tell there aren't enough reps. (Or in my case, I'll 'forget' what number he is on.) He also helps me with my form, which is so important. I always thought I had good form, and he has confirmed it, which makes me so happy!

I'm not stacked or jacked, but there's definitely lots of muscle in me because I was able to do the RX workout #1 in full. Leg work has always been my strong suit.

TRX workout #2 is a whole other story. It's trickier with the balance because you're basically only on your hands the entire time while your feet are in the balance thingies. I seriously need to work on my upper body strength. That was so tough!! It's also during TRX that you can tell what side is your dominant one muscle-wise. I found it odd how I was able to work so much longer on my left side than my right...I am a Righty, so I thought my right side would be the dominant one!

Anyway, the Navy SEAL workout is all about core and upper body. I did 20 chin ups! TWENTY! I could never do one before. I did so many push-ups. I couldn't count (again, great to have a workout buddy for that reason too!) And it only took an hour to do the entire circuit.

I took a day off from working out the next day and hit the gym today to work on legs.

For some reason my arms are still on fire. Guess the SEAL workout is the way to go!
