Physical fitness is an important aspect to every Navy SEALs life.  Without proper physical fitness, a Navy SEAL would never be able to carry out their required tasks.  Additionally, all Navy SEALs are required to keep in peak physical health in order to remain a Navy SEAL.

Stew Smith is an ex-Navy SEAL who has dedicated his life to physical fitness.  He has trained other Navy SEALs in physical fitness along with professional athletes and even a few Olympians.  He has gained a reputation for taking men to their next level when it comes to physical fitness and proper nutrition.

The following is a brief expert from an interview that Stew Smith took part in with Tryingfitness.com.   To read the full interview please visit their website here.

How does your approach to training differ from most personal trainers?

I DO EVERYTHING WITH MY STUDENTS – SO I AM MORE OF A WORKOUT PARTNER – RUNNING, SWIMMING, CALISTHENICS ETC… I USED TO TRAIN PEOPLE MUCH MORE THAN NOW – RIGHT NOW I AM IN A WRITING MODE OF CREATING BOOKS, EBOOKS, ETC THAT I DEVELOPED THROUGH YEARS OF TRAINING PEOPLE. YOU CAN SEE MY LIST OF BOOKS, EBOOKS, ARTICLES AT WWW.STEWSMITH.COM/SITEMAP.HTM

What do you do to stay motivated?

WORKOUT WITH FRIENDS AND OTHER LIKE MINDED PEOPLE. IT IS EASIER GETTING UP KNOWING THAT YOU WILL LET PEOPLE DOWN IF YOU STAYED ASLEEP FOR AN EARLY AM WORKOUT. ALSO – PLACE IT IN YOUR DAILY PLAN – IF IT IS NOT IN YOUR SCHEDULE – FITNESS DOES NOT EXIST.

What do you think is the biggest obstacle for people trying to get in shape?

STARTING! ONCE THEY GET GOING FOR ABOUT 1-2 WEEKS THEY TYPICALLY DO QUITE WELL AND START TO SEE / FEEL THE RESULTS OF THEIR LABOR. ONCE FITNESS BECOMES A HABIT – IT IS EASIER TO GET OVER TEH DAILY OBSTACLES, OCCASIONAL PLATEAUS ETC…
