This workshop is a non-choreographed conditioning workout that aims to deliver a constantly changing sequence of exercises; similar to a powerful Boot Camp-style program. For SEALs, and other military professionals, Physical Training (PT) takes on a very different perspective than what is commonly found at your local gym.  Because SEALs train for mission related performance, the objective for every workout is elite fitness, validated by the ability to perform every task at the level necessary to accomplish any mission – no matter what.  What does that mean?  It means that training must be comprised of broad and inclusive, constantly varied functional movements that are performed at high intensity in order to prepare for the unknown. High intensity functional training focused on strength, stamina, endurance, flexibility and durability are hallmarks of the Navy SEAL fitness regimen. The Navy SEAL Explosion incorporates endurance and mental toughness training, along with cutting edge functional training. There is a reason behind the workout design.
