Are You Fit Enough to be a Navy SEAL?

Navy SEAL (Sea, Air, Land) is the the United States’ principal naval special operations forces. Selective and competent, SEALs are among some of the best soldiers in the US military.

All potential candidates must take Physical Screening Test (PST), which is the bare minimum needed to be Navy SEAL. Chances are you’re not training to be a SEAL – even so, the PST makes for a good benchmark of your own fitness, and can be used as a quick, full body workout that requires little equipment. Here are the minimum requirements from the official Navy SEALs website:

500-yard swim using breast and/or sidestroke in less than 12 minutes and 30 seconds
10-minute rest
Perform a minimum of 42 push-ups in 2 minutes
2-minute rest
Perform a minimum of 50 sit-ups in 2 minutes
2-minute rest
Perform a minimum of 6 pull-ups (no time limit)
10-minute rest
Run 1 � miles wearing RUNNING SHOES and SHORTS in under 11 minutes

Remember, these are the minimum requirements for the PST. Once you can make the standard, challenge yourself to go above and beyond and you’ll see more significant improvements.
