The road to becoming a SEAL is long and challenging. In some cases, it may actually be harder to enter SEAL training than to graduate from SEAL training. It regularly takes an individual nearly two years of rigorous training, as in this program before you are physically ready for BUD/S. Most of the students who fail BUD/S arethose who 'thought. they were in shape but really were not.

Stew Smith's Navy SEAL Workouts are designed specifically for the future BUD/S student who seeks to become fully physically and mentally prepared for the rigorous training they are about to face.

If you can score the following on the BUD/S Physical Fitness Test (PFT) you will have a chance to graduate:

• 500 yd Swim . under 9:00
• Pushups in 2:00 . 100+
• Situps in 2:00 . 100+
• Pullups . 20+
• 1.5 mile run . under 9:00

These are not minimum standards to get into BUD/S. These are proven standards of a majority of the graduates when they arrive at BUD/S. It does not mean you will graduate if you can reach these standards, in fact, many BUD/S students with scores better than these have quit. After you reach these scores, it all becomes mental toughness that will help you graduate. That is an un-measurable element of the BUDS student. However, one common denominator between most of the graduates who have this mental toughness is they were also in great shape as well.
