Your Body Is A Tool So Take Care Of It And It May Save
Your Life Someday
Police work is
all about using the tools that we are given to do our job
effectively and safely. The most important tool that we have in
Police work is our bodies. We rely on our arms, shoulders, back, legs, & chest to
aide us in the execution of our duties each
day.
The main task of a Police
Officer is to apprehend criminals and how can you do that if
you are not in shape. Being in shape does not imply that you
have to be a massive mountain of muscle with no neck.
Being in shape is simply that you are not over weight and you
have a minimal level of strength, endurance, and muscle
mass.
You can have strong muscles
without having them be gigantic like a pro
bodybuilder. A Police Officer who is lean and strong and
able to run will be a superb crime fighting
machine. There may be times as a Police Officer where you
will have to fight with a criminal and being fit will give you
an advantage over most criminals who are unfit. Many criminals
may put on some size with weight lifting but they usually
have zero cardiovascular endurance and during a
struggle they run out of gas rather quickly.
We hope that your
Police Department has an exercise facility for you to use and
if not you should start an effort for your department to
implement one. Having a gym at your Police
Department is great because you can exercise while you are
at work or before and after your shift.
It's also nice not having to go to to
a public gym where you may run into someone that you have
arrested or had a negative experience with. If your
Police Department does not have it's own gym you will be
forced to join a public gym or exercise at home. Many
public exercise facilities offer discounted rates to Police
Officers and their families. You could also buy an inexpensive
weight set to use at your home.
If weight lifting
is not for you then there are many other
activities that you can get into that will keep you fit. You
could take up bicycling, flag football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, karate, kayaking,
aerobics, hiking, inline skating, ice hockey or many other fitness
related activities.
The bottom line is that you
need to make the effort to do some form of fitness related
activity to keep you fit and healthy. Police work is stressful
and exercise helps fight the negative and harmful side effects
of stress.
