Fit For Duty: The Peace Officer's Guide to...
Paperback. By Robert Hoffman and Thomas R. Collingwood.
Most peace officers recognize the importance of being physically fit. Unfortunately, many lack the strength and stamina they need to effectively perform their jobs. Fit for Duty was created to change that. The book shows officers how to develop a comprehensive program that will improve their fitness and help them lead healthier lives.
Fit for Duty addresses fitness from a peace officer’s point of view, examining each component of a total fitness program in light of the problems officers encounter in their unique work environment. Whether it’s used by officers who are already fit or by those just starting out, this book will show officers how to develop a fitness program that’s geared toward their specific needs and goals.
Officers will learn about the individual components of physical fitness—cardiovascular endurance, anaerobic power, muscular strength and endurance, body composition, and flexibility. The book explains how the principles of exercise apply to each component, provides guidelines for setting up a program that will develop each component, and discusses which activities officers should include in their program. Included in the book are sample exercises to help officers get started.
The book also discusses the lifestyle components of fitness and explains why each is important to a total fitness program. The book provides information on diet and nutrition, weight management, stress management, smoking cessation, and substance abuse prevention. Two final chapters show officers how to set goals and overcome the obstacles of initiating and adhering to a program.
Fit for Duty is an excellent guide for peace officers who want to start or enhance their own comprehensive fitness program. The book will help officers make positive changes in their behavior that will result in improved job performance, better health, and a higher quality of life.
