Time To Fall Back Into Physical Fitness
November 4, 2008 – 5:55 am
I was very fortunate to participate in, what at the time was, a very innovative high school athletic program. Our coaches were big proponents of a well rounded fitness program that included both strength and aerobic training. They taught me how to structure a conditioning program that, with minor modifications, I still use today.
Thirty years ago, the average person was not nearly as cognizant of the benefits of leading an active lifestyle that includes regular fitness training as we are today. Today, most people are concerned about their own health and that of their family. However, if you were not a jock when you were growing up, you may not have had the opportunity to benefit from the counsel of coaches that were knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition. So, where do you go for the information you need to to live a healthy lifestyle? Most of us turn to the Internet when we need advice about such issues. However, as valuable of an information resource as the Internet is, not all of the sites contain accurate information. I recommend the that you check out the federal government’s site on health and nutrition.
This is not just a fitness information site – it is an information clearinghouse. You will find information on a variety of important topics including Medicaid and Medicare coverage, prescription drug coverage, drug interactions and emergency radio broadcasts. However, I recommend that you check out the pages on diet, food and exercise. Learn how to start an exercise program or, if you are already exercising regularly, learn how to take it to the next level.
Physical fitness is critical to your safety and survival on the street as a law enforcement officer so take a moment to learn how to get started with a good fitness program.
