Episode 196: Firefighter Exercise Snacks with Annette Zapp, CISSN, CSCS*D
Exercise snacks are not food, but rather brief bouts of moderate to intense exercise that do not require equipment. The coolest part is that they can improve cardiometabolic and mental health, and even potentially performance in firefighters.
So what, now what?!?
Anchor these snacks to events that are already happening in your day!
