Episode notes
Preparing for the physical fitness component of a police/public safety academy is
essential.
It’s one of the most challenging aspects of the training:
● Demanding
● Stressful
● Applicable
● Essential to the functions of the job
● Often used as a tool to induce stress as a training tool alone or
coupled with other training such as use of force, defensive tactics,
firearms and more
● It strengthens the body as well as the mind forcing you to learn, adapt
and advance while your body and mind are under stress.
So let’s talk about how to approach it effectively and what you can expect to endure.
