The training principles and innovations behind the Perfect Pushup
originated with Alden Mills, a seven
year veteran of the Navy SEALs.
As a US Navy SEAL Team TWO platoon commander, LCDR Mills's platoon was
chosen for a one year study to determine why SEALs suffered unusually
high injury rates during their careers. After learning the injuries
were linked to their training methods, SEAL trainers switched
from age-old body building techniques to Functional Training.
Alden learned first hand from some of the best minds in the business
on how to incorporate these lessons learned into building optimal
exercise routines.
After leaving the US Navy SEAL Teams, Alden graduated from Carnegie
Mellon University’s Business School and began an entrepreneurial
career path in California. He became a certified professional
trainer from the National Academy of Sports Medicine and started
the company that became BODYREV in 2002. His belief of using exercise
as a key to gaining control of your life is the cornerstone for
the company’s philosophy. He is passionate about helping others
take control of their bodies. He believes if they can learn to
be successful at taking control of their body, that they will
be successful at anything they put their minds to.
When not volunteering in his community he spends every available
moment he can with his three boys and wonderful wife in San Francisco
California.
