Take Your Training to New Levels. Summer is That Time. Some of my best workouts over the decades of training have come during the summer months when the normal grinding schedule slows down. From no school, longer day time hours, and fewer commitments (typically), you can work a little harder over the summer and not get the typical burnout that accompanies burning the candle at both ends (work, school, sports, workouts, family events etc). The summer presents a unique opportunity to elevate your performance as you prepare for military or special operations service. 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. For me, over my SEAL prep years, summer offered more opportunities to improve swimming as all the pools were open for more hours. The early mornings also offered daylight by 5am to start the day with cals and cardio before the heat of the day.

When asked about breakfast, I realized I have changed my breakfast habits over each decade. I was wondering what your go-to breakfast is? Seems like most people I talk to do one of the following: 1) Skip breakfast, grab the coffee, and go. 2) Do oatmeal with fruit (add boiled egg or yogurt for protein) - my favorite since 40yrs old 3) Go with eggs (bacon or sausage) Where are you on this spectrum of choice? I asked the same question of @nickbarringer.phd.rdn who was helpful with data as well as adding depends on goals, age, health condition, weight management issue...etc. Maybe you have a different breakfast choice?
