Get Firefighter Fit: The Complete Workout from the Former Director of the New York City Fire Department Physical Training Program Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer 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.
