Water is the source of energy, it helps in all metabolic processes and can decrease your chances of sudden cardiac arrest and stroke.&nbsp; Stay hydrated can also help boost performance.&nbsp; Try to drink 1\/2 your body-weight in ounces of water a day!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stay Mobile.&nbsp;<\/strong> Try to do some stretching, foam rolling or even yoga every shift.&nbsp; The better you move, the better you perform.&nbsp; Mobility exercises are easy to do and don&#8217;t require a lot of time or space.&nbsp; Personally, I like to foam roll a couple of times during each shift.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eat Real Food!&nbsp;<\/strong> This sounds like a no-brainier but our typical American diet is laced with many chemicals and sugar.&nbsp; Try to keep the foods you eat simple, minimize all the chemicals and really try to limit sugar.&nbsp; You will notice a difference in your performance and appearance!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>And BONUS #4.&nbsp; Follow a plan.&nbsp;<\/strong> Approach you fitness like an athlete does.&nbsp; Have a plan when you workout and strive to improve your performance every day.&nbsp; &nbsp;Need a plan?<\/p>\n<p>Fire Rescue Fitness has workout programs that will help first responders lose weight, gain strength, lose bodyfat and most importantly improve performance on (and off) the fire\/rescue scene. &nbsp;&nbsp;To discover the best program for you, take the FRF workout quiz (<a href=\"https:\/\/firerescuefitness.com\/get-frf-program-quiz\/\">click the link below<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/firerescuefitness.com\/get-frf-program-quiz\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/firerescuefitness.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/time-to-create-your-frf-story-smaller.png?resize=300%2C232&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"232\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Get back to basics, stay consistent with your workouts and nutrition and Get FRF (fire rescue fit).<\/p>\n<p>Let me know how I can help you.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron Zamzow<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It seems like fitness information is coming from every angle these days.&nbsp;
