60 Days to Build a Body, Mind and Life You Don’t Want to Escape From

You were not put on this earth to work, pay bills, get old and die.

You were built to LIVE.

To be strong.

To be capable.

To explore.

To climb mountains.

To hike trails.

To spend time with people you love.

To wake up with a purpose.

But none of that happens by accident.

You have to build the capacity to live that life.

Welcome to DDFTM.

DON’T DIE FOR THE MAN

The new 60-day SEALgrinderPT training and lifestyle mission.

YOU JUST PROVED YOU CAN DO HARD THINGS.

You finished the Endurance to Find Your Why program.

Then you took that training into the real world.

Three Colorado peaks in one week. Or you may have done the alternative as Rick Schmitt did 700 bulgarian squats.

You trained.

Charles Allen had knee replacement 9 months ago and he stepped up the plate and took on a big gnarly. He ended up climbing two 14ers and showed that you can do it if you do the work.

You stayed accountable.

You showed up for your teammates.

You pushed through fatigue.

And you reached the summit.

That was the proof.

Now take that mindset home.

Because the goal isn’t to have one great week in Colorado.

The goal is to build a life where you keep doing hard things.

DON’T JUST GET FIT – BUILD A LIFE.

DDFTM isn’t another six-week beach-body program.

We’re not chasing abs.

We’re not training just to make your numbers look good on an app.

We’re building capacity.

The capacity to:

Lift.

Run.

Ruck.

Hike.

Climb.

Ride.

Recover.

Work.

Play.

Travel.

Adventure.

Live.

WHAT DOES “DON’T DIE FOR THE MAN” MEAN?

It means don’t spend your entire life sacrificing your health for somebody else’s dream.

Don’t work yourself into the ground.

Don’t destroy your body chasing money.

Don’t wait until retirement to start living.

Don’t wake up at 60 and realize you spent your best years sitting behind a desk.

Your health is your freedom.

Your fitness gives you options.

Your strength gives you capacity.

Your relationships give your life meaning.

Your money gives you choices.

Your adventures give you memories.

Build all of it.

THIS IS A TEAM SPORT.

You don’t have to do it alone.

You’ll have the opportunity to train alongside other SGPT athletes, share your results, stay accountable and keep moving forward.

Because accountability changes everything.

It’s easy to skip a workout when nobody knows.

It’s harder when your teammates are waiting for you.

Iron sharpens iron.

YOU WILL TRACK MORE THAN YOUR WORKOUT.

Every day, you’re looking at five things:

TRAIN

Did you do the work?

SLEEP

Did you recover?

NUTRITION

Did you fuel yourself properly?

RECOVERY

Did you take care of the machine?

ACCOUNTABILITY

Did you show up for yourself and your team?

That’s the DDFTM standard.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

DDFTM is for the person who says:

“I know I can be better.”

You’re probably already somewhat fit.

Maybe you’ve been training for years.

Maybe you’re coming back from a setback.

Maybe you’re tired of starting programs and quitting.

Maybe you want a new challenge.

Maybe you want to get ready for a mountain.

Maybe you want to lose some body fat.

Maybe you want to build endurance.

Maybe you simply want to feel alive again.

You don’t need to be a Navy SEAL.

You don’t need to be an elite athlete.

You don’t need to be in perfect shape.

You need to be willing to do the work.

THE DDFTM FINAL TEST

Finish the 60 days with a final physical and mental challenge.

Then decide what’s next.

Because 60 days isn’t the finish line.

It’s the next starting point.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT BEING PERFECT.

You will miss a workout.

You will have a bad night’s sleep.

You will eat the pizza.

You will have a shitty day.

That’s life.

The mission is not perfection.

The mission is getting back on track.

Miss Monday?

Train Tuesday.

Eat like crap?

Make the next meal better.

Have a bad week?

Start again.

Keep moving forward.

YOUR BODY IS YOUR VEHICLE.

Take care of it.

You only get one.

Build strength.

Build endurance.

Build mobility.

Build resilience.

Build recovery.

Build confidence.

Because you don’t know what’s waiting around the next corner.

Maybe it’s a mountain.

Maybe it’s a new business.

Maybe it’s a 100-mile race.

Maybe it’s your first pull-up.

Maybe it’s playing with your grandchildren.

Maybe it’s simply having the energy to enjoy a Saturday afternoon with your family.

Be ready.
