Had the privilege of sitting front and center today to hear of share his knowledge. I also got the chance to connect with him one-on-one afterward and dive even deeper into topics where he’s truly the global expert.

It’s an incredible honor to be part of a department that actively brings in the most respected voices in health and fitness to invest in our health and longevity as firemen.

Hearing someone who’s coached world-class athletes across so many sports break down aerobic capacity—and then tailor a program specific to our needs on the job—was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.

Huge thanks to and for making this happen.

Fallen but not forgotten. Thank you for your service.

The Training Division has been hard at work designing and building a fitness center where we can accommodate Fire Department members, retirees, and NWA Fire Academies a place for physical fitness. Here are some before and after pictures. A video walk through is coming soon!

You will work for 1:00, rest for :30s for a total time of 12:00 (3 rds). Set 1 will be 80 beats per minute of inverted row. Set up a barbell in the squat rack and perform inverted rows. If you can go the full minute, then you will complete 40 reps. If you cannot go the full minute, then you will go for as long as you can up to a minute. You will repeat this for set 2 for the pushups. Set 3 you will complete 30-45 seconds each side of a side plank. For the 3rd round of plank, increase your plank time to 45 to 60 seconds. Break up into sets if necessary. There is no rest between side planks. For example, after 30 seconds on one side, immediately go to the next side.

🔥FFD Programming Thursday 🔥
Week 2 Day 4:
-At The Station Training:
EMOM30:
Min 1: 8-12 Burpee
Min 2: 5-7 Cal Row (Spirit)
Min 3: Fast Walk on Treadmill
*If you use a Concept 2 then 12-16 Cal

-Minimal Equipment Training:
For 30:00
Ruck
*Wear a weight vest

~At The Station Workout Description~
Today is a 30 minute EMOM. Minute one you will complete 8-12 burpees. Minute 2 you will complete 5-7 calories on the spirit rower. Minute 3 will be a fast paced walk. You will repeat this for thirty minutes (10 rds each). If you are unable to finish the prescribed movement in the allotted time, then stop yourself at :50s to give yourself ten seconds of rest. The intent is a moderate-fast pace for 30 minutes with a recovery walk every 3 minutes. The recovery walk is in place to get your heart rate to come back down slightly before beginning the next round.

~Minimal Equipment Workout Description~
Wear a weighted vest, pack, or object, and ruck for 30 minutes. This should be completed at a zone 2 pace. A Zone 2 pace is calculated by subtracting 180 from your age (180-Age). Another way to interpret zone 2 training is to keep a pace where you can easily recite the alphabet or hold a conversation.
