He believes good fitness is formed around a balanced diet. Nutrition is the key to making the entire fitness concept complete. That means eating five to eight small meals per day to include the correct amounts of protein, carbohydrates and fats. A component of nutrition many people overlook, but which is vital to SEALs, is hydration. According to Knowles, SEALs drink water continuously throughout the day.
Proper hydration is as crucial to a good training regimen as discipline and the drive to succeed.
But neither good nutrition nor exercise will do any good without rest. When fatigue sets in, people are more predisposed to injury, said Knowles. You need rest so that your body has an opportunity to recuperate and adapt to new stimulus. Good fitness isn t exclusive to SEALs. There are no secrets to good fitness, said Knowles.
