This week on “Random Fit,” hosts, and NASM Master Instructors, Wendy Batts, and Ken Miller, explore Gearing Up, where fitness meets the real world. We will discuss the physical demands of extreme uniforms—gear-heavy outfits worn by soldiers, firefighters, police officers, and even sports mascots. These uniforms are more than just attire; they’re a test of endurance, strength, and resilience.

We will dive into the unique challenges of training for these roles, exploring how to build the physical and mental toughness required to excel in gear that can weigh you down or push you to your limits, as well as connect the dots between functional fitness and the demands of these extraordinary professions.

Tune in to learn how to train not just for the gym, but for the challenges of the real world.
