More Firefighter Happiness, Less Firefighter Heart Attacks

What do you do on or after shift that makes you happy?  I share some answers from IG to that question to kick off the episode.

Then, I was on a popular firefighter website the other day and there were three stories about firefighters having heart attacks an cardiac arrest.  One while on a call, and two others of guys being found unconscious at the station.

My approach to firefighter fitness is measured depending on the context and needs of the situation.  For a lot of us, preventing a heart attack is a much more attainable and desirable goal than being combat challenge world champion.

Luckily the amount of effort it takes to stave off a heart attack is much less than you might expect.  I'm talking about some easy ways to make marginal gains so that we can stay out of the ICU.

If you like the episode, please share it with someone.
