FAQs
Do I need to be a First Responder or Military to do these programmes?
Absolutely not, if you enjoy working out then these programmes are for you!
What if I work a roster that isn't Monday - Friday?
I completely understand, think of every workout as in succession, do them in order, don't skip any workouts. If you can't do a workout on a given day, don't stress just come back the next day and attack it! In the world of First Responders there is no typical Monday -Friday.
What kind of equipment do I need to do this programme?
To get the most out of this programme, you will need access to basic equipment such as barbells, dumbbells, pull up rig, cardio equipment. If you don't have access to the specific equipment don't stress! feel free to use alternative equipment, check the sample week for an idea of equipment needed.
