First Responders- Get Out of Your Fitness Rut.

In this episode, Aaron Zamzow (ZAM) uncovers the Resilient 50, 
a transformative 50-day program specifically tailored to the needs of first responders (firefighters, EMTs, medics, and others on the front lines of emergency response). The challenge is designed to strengthen the mental and emotional fortitude that is critical for first responders and focuses on building "resilient" habits. 
 
This is not a fitness or weight loss challenge, it is a far more personal and transformative journey - the specific purpose being to equip you with the mental and emotional resilience needed to handle high-stakes situations and the daily stressors of such an essential job.
 
The premise of this 50-day challenge is simple.

 Choose seven habits that target the key aspects of building resilience- fitness, nutrition, recovery, and mental health.
 Choose a day to start.
  Follow through all 50 days, and complete each habit every day.
  Challenge others in your crew, family, department, and/or group to join you!  Make it fun and put some "juice" behind the challenge.
  Email your story/ entry (after completing the 50 days) and get your "Resilient 50" Challenge Coin (and entered in the prize pool).

What are the habits?  Listen to this episode.
