Can you complete the Navy SEAL fitness test?
Navy Seal test categories
Swim 500 yard (457 meters)
You have to swim 500 yard under 12:30 minutes but to be competitive you have to do it in 8-9 minutes.
Push ups
Push ups must be done in the interval of 2 minutes and the minimum value is 42 push ups which is not that much but in order to beat up the competition you should do more than 100 push ups. You have to consider the fact that only proper form of push ups is going to count.
Sit ups
Sit ups are also one of the category that is being tested and even if they are considered the ''easiest'' part of the test they can be very exhausting and tiring. The minimum number of sit ups is 52 in 2 minutes and that is why they are considered the easiest part of the test because in 2 minutes you can do a lot more without a struggle but that depends on your physical and fitness level. In order to beat the competition you HAVE to do more than 130 push ups in 2 minutes and that is the real challenge!
Pull ups
In order to pass the pull up part of the test you should be able to do only 8 pull ups but in order to be competitive you have to do between 20-30 pull ups with a proper form (all the way down). So, this one can be a real struggle if you consider the fact that you have to wear military boots and outfit (which is not that light).
