Below is the link to a very tough, progressive routine. This is not an actual Navy SEALS workout, those are even tougher if imaginable, but this is a sort of preparatory routine.

This program is about a nine week long program. During this program, you should notice that your endurance will sore to heights never imagined. However, like Navy SEAL training, this program will break you - only the mentally strong will survive and a new, strengthened man will emerge.

Comments? I'm considering taking this up when my knee gets good enough for running.

Swimming is one of the most awesome things you can do for fitness.
When I played basketball and swimming only weekly, it did huge things to help my game.

I've looked over this thouroughly and I think i'm gonna give it a whirl!!

I gave a printed copy to my sensei and he said that this would be one of the best things for my karate.

Hehe, cool Phantasmatic.

I'm incorporating it but only doing the pushups etc. twice a week as to get a better time for recovery, but the same amount of cardio. Also replaced the swimming with Martial Arts practice, so this should be good.

Great routine but I'm going to skip the running, going to save my knee for my kicks.

I can't run much due to knee problems so if the routine says 2 miles at an 8:30 pace, I will simply do intense cardio for 20 minutes in the form of skipping, bagwork, stationary cycle etc.
