About Inside The Hellish Training Of US Navy SEALs | Unbreakable

Former US Navy SEALs take some new 'recruits' from the UK to test them whose beach-based challenges from long beach runs to "surf torture" leave them physically and emotionally drained. After the first day, Carla suffers from dehydration and exhaustion, but must face her fear of water in a drownproofing challenge where the volunteers repeatedly sink in a pool with their ankles and wrists bound. Unbreakable takes eight super-fit members of the public on a punishing global trail to undergo a series of brutal challenges. They were bossed and cajoled by physical trainers and survival experts as they bid to outdo and outlast each other.
