This is your chance to transform every weak link into a strength, to build a program that propels you towards the elite. Remember, it's not just about training hard, but about training smart. This is your time to shine.
Let's break it down: if you're predominantly an endurance athlete, it's time to hit the weights. Focus on enhancing your strength, power, speed, and agility.

The goal is to be well-rounded, as special operations demand versatile capabilities.

Push-ups, pull-ups, and various bodyweight exercises will increase muscular endurance and overall stamina. Throw in high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to keep your heart rate up and mimic the high-stress scenarios you'll face during selection.
