Editorial Reviews

Product Description
To do their job each and every day, firefighters must be strong, fit, and agile enough to force open steel doors, rapidly climb stairs wearing 100 pounds of protective clothing and equipment, and rescue injured people trapped in confined spaces. Is it any wonder why they are considered heroes? Using a four-phase progressive approach to total body conditioning, Get Firefighter Fit presents a comprehensive training method that has proven successful in transforming out-of-shape rookies into top-flight firefighters. Regardless of their current fitness levels, this personalized training methodology will enable readers to begin today and immediately progress in absolute strength, muscular endurance, aerobic capacity, and joint flexibility. The book also includes a performance-oriented diet designed to properly fuel and hydrate the body during high-intensity training. No other occupation places a greater physiological demand on the human body than firefighting and no other conditioning program challenges readers to find the courage and strength to excel more than Get Firefighter Fit.

5.0 out of 5 stars well written...AND, November 23, 2008
By qcsoccer1 (illinois) - See all my reviews

This is a great little book for interested lay people who want to "get fit like a firefighter". I know an EMT who boasts about it. The focus on using circuit equipment to "simulate" firefighting tasks, is a useful approach to making gym exercises "related to firefighting duties". I recommend this book for its excellent nutrition section and useful collateral information.

BUT, for the professional firefighter-- you might want to consider the book; Fitness for Firefighters: Enduro-Strength Training. It is designed ONLY for firefighters. The routines require actual firefighting equipment: hoses, axes, ladders, etc. and are effectively crafted for building power, strength, and endurance for firefighters. All told, both books have value for me.
