The time elapsed between pre and post fitness assessments were 10 weeks. Keep in mind these are already fit individuals who have passed all necessary entry level fitness exams. Ages ranged from 23 to 40 years old. The following were the results passed on to us, but let us not forget the "inside of the gym" improvements such as all of them cutting anywhere from a minute and a half to four minutes off of their Baseline test, or the fact that all but one of them had to use assistance bands for pull-ups in the beginning and none of them had to at completion. Being able to push and pull your own body weight is such an extremely important skill no matter who you are! And although the recruits may have been quite sore from time to time:), it's important to note that NO RECRUITS WERE INJURED FROM THIS PROGRAM!
- Every recruit had a drop in resting heart rate (an indicator of good heart health).
- Every recruit had a drop in body fat percentage. 2.14% was the average
- Every recruit had an increase in aerobic capacity. 5.4% was the average
- Every recruit had an increase in flexibility (specifically the lower back). 28.4%
- Recruits averaged a 14% improvement in grip strength
- Recruits averaged a 9.1% improvement in leg strength
- Recruits averaged a 27.6% increase in core strength
The recruits collectively lost over 32 pounds of fat and gained over 15 pounds of muscle!
Way to go fire fighters!!!
