More Firefighter Happiness, Less Firefighter Heart Attacks
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What do you do on or after shift that makes you happy? I share some answers from IG to that question to kick off the episode.
Then, I was on a popular firefighter website the other day and there were three stories about firefighters having heart attacks an cardiac arrest. One while on a call, and two others of guys being found unconscious at the station.
My approach to firefighter fitness is measured depending on the context and needs of the situation. For a lot of us, preventing a heart attack is a much more attainable and desirable goal than being combat challenge world champion.
Luckily the amount of effort it takes to stave off a heart attack is much less than you might expect. I'm talking about some easy ways to make marginal gains so that we can stay out of the ICU.
