Navy SEALs do CrossFit
A few weeks ago I got the opportunity to go through some training exercises put on by some former Navy SEALs. After we completed a few hours of training, the SEALs spent nearly an hour explaining to the group about how the BUD/S training (the six month training that members of the Navy must complete in order to become a SEAL) has changed quite a bit over the last few years. The training, which previously had a high emphasis on extremely long duration endurance work, is now being shaped largely by a new, more effective and efficient training method called CrossFit. The SEALs that helped organize this event have also opened a CrossFit affiliate, CrossFit Forged, in the San Diego area.
Big thanks to Cameron for inviting me, and San Francisco Entrepernueur Organization (EO) for putting on the event.
