Stew Smith will take live questions and give answers but the introduction is the focus of today's article - Gaining Assets Often causes the Loss of Being a Capable Asset.   See more articles / books / coaching at https://www.stewsmithfitness.com This generational story has played its cycle out multiple times long before me and will continue especially as we advance into a more highly technical society. The young person who works hard and trains typically gains the strength and abilities to be an asset in life's dangerous situations long before they have acquired any monetary assets. However, as we all age, life requires more responsibilities such as providing for your family and the chase for gaining assets causes many people to lose the ability to be a capable asset in life's potential dangers.

Getting started comes with many levels. You could be an athlete and getting started on military / spec ops level training.  That is a process. You could be a 50 yr old and have not done anything for 20 years except to gaining 5 lbs a year for the past decades. Getting started will be all about assessing strengths and weaknesses, building habits that include movement and nutrition, and breaking old habits that interfere with new goal progress. One Step at a time - https://www.stewsmithfitness.com/blogs/news/fitness-over-40-and-50-answers-to-your-concerns-one-step-at-a-timeSpec ops prep - start here - https://www.stewsmithfitness.com/blogs/news/spec-ops-prep-list-of-articles-research-one-stop-shopFor more information about military, special ops, police, and fire fighter physical preparation - check out https://www.StewSmithFitness.com for hundreds of articles, over 50 books, ebooks, and online coaching too.

It's physical stress, emotional stress, your body just looks at that as a straight stress. 15:26 There are peaks and valleys and you know, different elements of fitness that you focus on spread throughout the year where you don't neglect any weaknesses. But at the same time, you're not burning out on one particular element month after month after month, year after year to a point where you're just beat up and injured all the time. 31:30 Phases of tactical fitness 43:09 That leads to a generation of males I was talking to all kids these days are, are being deprived of PE in.

Family life in the military is tough, but it works for many. Jeff and Stew answer a very commonly asked question from future special ops candidates. We both have different experiences with marriage in the Teams, but we share the same mentality on how to make it work. "You have to work at it - to make it work." http://www.StewSmithFitness.com http://www.performancefirst.us Instagram: @stew50smith @jeffcscs @onlyeasyday Youtube: www.youtube.com/stew50smith

1) Tell me a little about yourself and how long have you or served behind the front line for? In What capacity? I graduated from the US Naval Academy in 1991, went to SEAL training. Graduated SEAL training in 1992 and was active in the SEAL Teams until 1999. I drove mini-subs at first then went back to the Naval Academy as a pre-SEAL training instructor until 1999. It was a different world in the 90s that after 9-11. Got married, started having kids in 1999 and resigned from the Navy. Mainly me leaving was a combination of my personal commitment to the job and injuries (shoulder, lower back, ankle, knee). See - http://www.military.com/military-fitness/navy-special-operations/20-years-of-periodization-training 2)What was the hardest time of your life? What tools did you use to get through it? I have had challenges in both college and Navy life, but nothing as difficult as having four close family members suffer from cancer in 3 years. Mom, sister, father in law, brother in law were all fighting cancer at the same time. My sister was the only one to make it out alive. Not an easy time as my young kids had to see this as well. But with faith, family, fitness (*de-stressing) and time you get through things like this.   3) What are your greatest successes? Several. I can look back and see that getting accepted and graduating from the Naval Academy and then SEAL Training has made me who I am to some degree. I also was able to take a hobby and make it a profession. Being able to do something I love to do for the past 20 years has been a blessing and a great success for my family and me. I truly workout and write about it for a living. Books, eBooks, Articles, APPs, as well as speaking engagements and a Podcast – Tactical Fitness Report - have turned my writing into speaking and sharing it a wide variety of methods. 4)Now that you have experienced life a little, what would you tell your 20-year- old self? Well, I met my wife 30 years ago. I would definitely say to my 19-year-old self – “don’t let this one go.” Being a writer, I always have written down everything I have ever done (workouts/fitness.) I would also tell myself to continue that these “writings/notes” will become a database that has turned into ten published books and over 40 self-published books on fitness training for military, police, and fire fighter training programs. Also – invest in APPLE and AMAZON. 5)Who is your greatest role model and why? Teddy Roosevelt – A scholar-athlete who set the standard in all he did. President, environmentalist, warrior, Medal of Honor, Nobel Peace Prize, and creator of one of my favorite quotes: “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” 6)Any particular stories that stand out from your days serving? How has fitness played a role in it? Nothing specific: In the Navy SEAL profession, fitness is part of the job regardless of what you do. Getting to areas of operation requires stamina and endurance as the transits can take not just hours but days. Your ability to handle these stresses are directly tied to your fitness and abilities. But in any tactical profession, as you know, the difference between life and death, saving someone or not are directly related to one’s fitness abilities. Strength, power, endurance, stamina, speed, agility, mob
