#1 Most Important Rule - You Need to Train Specifically For the First Two Phases of Tactical Fitness

I think we can all agree that there are TWO phases for you to reach your goal. You have to get TO the training in order to get THROUGH the training in any tactical profession. A typical hurdle we all face is not focusing on your weaknesses during your preparation phases.  This lack of attention will typically result in your failure to meet the standard or overuse injury.

At StewSmithFitness.com, there are great articles in the Articles Section like Getting TO and THROUGH BUD/S, Tactical Fitness Report Podcasts, and Swimming Videos, discussing why both phases of training are critical and why most failures occur – they spend all their time getting TO the training and did not consider how to get THROUGH the training.

Eliminating Weaknesses Takes Time And Patience

In this case, what most people do is work too hard and hurt themselves by doing workouts to test mental toughness vs actually doing workouts that make you stronger, faster and more durable in all areas of tactical fitness. Another problem with this approach is that most people actually quit on this part of the journey because of the long and hard work that lies ahead, or they join prematurely before they are actually ready, then fail.

Over Twenty Years Ago, I created a Training Method to Help with the Journey:

A Training Method Called Seasonal Tactical Fitness Periodization. 
The better solution is dependent on your current abilities and athletic history. There is an answer to any physical weakness with any one of the book/ebook options, membership program, or online personal coaching options at StewSmithFitness.com.

Pick an Option and Get On A Path To Become A Tactical Athlete Today.

Your #1 best solution here is to start by assessing your abilities, then focus on your weakness, using our FREE assessment tool.

You may have to adjust your thoughts about "losing gains" by running, swimming and rucking longer distances. Face it, you need to be a cardio endurance machine, but also strong to not get crushed by logs, boats, equipment, rucks, and other gear.  Don’t worry, you can still stay strong and become good at tactical fitness cardio endurance events. Or you can still stay good at cardio endurance events while getting stronger.  All depends on your weaknesses.

Specifically, this means a mindset shift about fitness. In tactical fitness, you need to get GOOD at everything, not just great at things you love to do from previous sports (strengths), but also good at things you may have never tried or never liked doing (weaknesses). Here is why:  A weakness will be exposed within the first day of any tactical profession training/selection program.

You are also going to have to adopt a long-term training approach that you can use to get TO the training, THROUGH the training, and AFTER the training to maintain your tactical fitness and remain an operator.

Turn Weaknesses Into Strengths And Maintain Your Strengths.
My Seasonal Tactical Fitness Periodization method has been evolving into what it is today over the last 20 years of research, development, testing and evaluation…It is a way to train – not the only way to train. But it works and still evolving.

Here is the way I arrange my workouts throughout the year.

I think of the four seasons as a way to challenge ALL of the fitness elements (speed, agility, endurance (run, swim, ruck), strength / power, muscle stamina, mobility and flexibility) – not all at once but throughout the year. You will find you can still be above average in ALL the elements of fitness, which is invaluable to successful Tactical Fitness professionals.

Spring - Calisthenics and cardio workouts. Run / Swim Progression.

Summer - Calisthenics and cardio workouts (advanced). Run max / PT Peak, Swim progression.

Fall - Calisthenics, weights, and decreased running / non-impact cardio workouts. Ruck / Swim with fins progression.

Winter – Warmup with calisthenics, but this cycle is heavy weights, weight vest calisthenics, more non-impact cardio workouts. Some rucking / More Swim with fins peak.  Most people put on 10-15 lbs in this cycle (of muscle and gains in strength).
