Is fitness part of your survival plan?

If exercise isn't part of your survival plan, you are creating a potential catastrophe!

If you’re resolved to get in shape, or simply looking for a new workout, consider these Boot Camp Workouts. This is not your military bootcamp training, but I think you’ll find them challenging, nonetheless. The philosophy of this form of exercise is high intensity interval training.

Each term used in this regimen can be found on Google to help assist with your understanding of the specific movement.

They worked out today. Did you? (Photo via alphamale.com)

Editor’s note:  Sadly, too few officers will read this article. Fitness and exercise has been placed on the back burner for a myriad of reasons. … Too busy, too tired, too this, too that. … Quite frankly, I don’t understand it. I never wanted a criminal to have a physical advantage over me. Moreover, career criminals will size you up. If you look like a “laundry bag,” they are far more likely to take advantage of you.

My agency had a picture similar to the one above in our weight room. Above the photo someone wrote, “They worked out today. Did you?” I turned 58-years-old yesterday, and have been working out 3-5 days per week since I was 14-years-old. It’s part of my lifestyle. I don’t golf, I go to the gym. I’m sure a few guys in the inmate picture can take me, but I do not fear any of them because I train. If you do not think you’d be physically competitive with the inmates in the photo, it should scare the living crap out of you. Now start training! Your life or the life of your partner may depend on it!
