    You get 2 minutes to perform the pushups and situps which is easy.

    From what can tell. No not at all these guys and women can do push ups all day and sit ups for hours on end then to end a day jog for hours on end the can swim from 6 miles off shore and still be able to complete their mission!

    I'm sorry but that is no were near what they do on a regular basis. Plus your posting how fast you can do them which a very lot of people get confused with how much you can do!

    It's all about stamina and how much fatigue your body can handle my advice go to NetFlix and the History Chanel to get a TINY glimpse of what they do.
