Quick Fit Tip - Fitness for the Tactical Athlete

Over the past 20 years a whole new category of fitness has evolved: conditioning programs that meet the specific needs of military and first responders. Other than the fitness requirements to get hired, many departments did not have specific fitness protocols and the employees were left to working out on their own, often following bodybuilding programs that did not adequately prepare their bodies for the physical demands of their job. September 11, 2001 identified a need for first responders to possess a high state of fitness to handle any challenge they might face in the line of duty. In response hundreds of millions of dollars of federal aid was made available to help fire departments update their exercise protocols.
In addition, after almost two decades of continuous combat operations, much of it in urban environments, most of the branches of the military have changed the way they physically and mentally prepare for operating in the field. The fact is that whether fighting a fire, working a car accident, dealing with an aggressive criminal or conducting combat operations in an urban environment, first responders and military personnel are often required to move like athletes so they should be doing exercise programs that will prepare them for the demands of their job. Over the past decade or so, exercise programs for military and first responders have evolved to help these individuals train like the athletes that they are; this Quick Fit Tip introduces you to exercise for the tactical athlete, a brand new, and essential, category of fitness.
