The Everyday Pursuit

103. Improve Your Run Time Without Running

If you're a first responder or in the military, you have to take some type of physical assessment to make sure You are fit for duty. The vast majority of these assessments require running, sprinting, jogging, or some type of agility. I talk to hundreds of first responders on a monthly basis, and I’ve come to the strong conclusion that the cardio portion of any fitness test is the Achilles heel of the Everyday Hero community., I've learned that most of this community hates running with a passion, and most avoid running at all costs until weeks before their test because they think improving their cardio by running is the only way. And this episode, I walk you through several other ways to improve your cardio so you can crush your physical fitness test without having to run regularly. If you hate running with a passion or feel like your joints can't handle it, I promise you there are other ways to become a performance animal without having to run or jog each week.

101. Performance Hacks For Tactical Fitness

Cops, Firefighters, BPs, and COs should train a little differently than the average person at the gym. Even if performance is not your “top” priority, it's definitely something you need to focus on. A lot of people go to the gym purely for aesthetics, which is great, but they don't have a job where they're putting themselves in imminent danger each week. This means you have an obligation to yourself, your career, and your community to be more of a performer than the guy who goes to the gym and does curls in the squat rack, lol. You should be prioritizing a 360 approach to your fitness if you want to be a well-rounded athlete AND look amazing all year long!
