Phew! Yeah, it's a tough workout. It would be very beneficial, if you attempted to do this workout, to record all of your progress on a day by day calendar. Include the number of repetitions, time of runs, number of sets, ect. And, many of you may not have a rucksack, but that doesn't mean you can't improvise; use a backpack with weights in it. Again, as stated in the Navy SEAL Workout, consume the appropriate amount of nutrients and drink lots of water. If you are trying this out as a supplement to your lifting schedule, look into taking Glutamine to preserve muscle mass during the running and swimming. Good luck if you dare try this workout. HOO YAH!"
