Firefighters

Firefighters, EMTs, Paramedics: Your Physical Fitness is CRUCIAL! Your life, and the lives of those you serve, depend on how fit you are...

Firefighters: Every time you don your SCBA and prepare to go into a hazardous environment, your physical fitness is on the line. The oxygen loading required for you to complete a task under stress varies depending on your physical condition. It means the difference between sucking your tank down in 15 minutes, or staying on the nozzle for 30 minutes or more without running out of air. Let's be frank. That crucial difference can mean life or death for you.		EMT-B's, EMT-I's and Paramedics: When your patient is on the 4th floor of an apartment building, and you have to climb all those stairs WITH your med kits, your fitness level will determine how fast you travel and how effective you are when you get there. If a victim is in need of advanced life support at the base of a steep hill or cliff, your fitness level will determine if you can even make the trek to where your skills are most needed.

The key to fitness is exercise. But what form of exercise is right FOR BOTH MEN AND WOMEN? Here's the answer:

Jerry is using the Firefighter's Workout Book with the Firefighter's Workout DVD, and he's following FDNY Capt. Stefano's 30-minutes-a-day workout plan, and thirty-one strength training exercises, so his 60-year-old body can take as much punishment on scene as his fellow 20-year-old firefighters. It's starting to work for him. And it will work for you, whether you are 20, 30, or even over 60, like Jerry. Get one for yourself- Or get one for your Favorite Police Officer, Firefighter, EMT, or Paramedic... They make perfect gifts.
