With the recent raid on Osama bin Laden’s Pakistan compound, there’s been a large surge in the popularity of everything SEAL, including Navy SEAL training . There’s no doubt about it; these operators suffer and endure through some of the most dangerous and challenging military courses in the world, and it all starts with the PST (physical screening test).
At the heart of your preparation should be a strong foundation of calisthenics and running, which will prepare you not only for the PST but for the extreme physical demands of BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL school). You can check out the minimum PST requirements about halfway down the page here.

Remember that these represent the very minimum, and candidates scoring this low on the PST have a miniscule chance of successfully completing BUD/S. This is due in part to not meeting necessary scores on evolutions and/or overuse injuries from lack of proper fitness. Many recommend 80-100 pushups and situps, 15+ pullups, and a couple minutes under on both the swim and the run.
Another popular option is to attend an in-person camp.This affords you the best opportunity to get a real idea of both BUD/S training, and also a feel for what it’s like to be on a team. The Navy doesn’t have the same type of combat arms programs as the Army and Marines, so it’s a great idea to attend a camp and “try it on” to make sure you’re ready and that this is something you really want to commit to.
Alternatively, it’s still a great program for those who are looking to really push themselves to new limits, both in physical and mental stamina. This type of training is designed to take participants past their normal physical limitations and to demonstrate that with the proper mindset, the body is capable of going further and pushing harder than most people think they are capable of. Just be sure to consult a physician before starting any exercise program or training regimine.
