Today's episode is an thought exercise where we bring up the discussion of what we can do better on the topic of overall fitness, health, and wellness.

We often get caught up in the status quo when it comes to approaching firefighter fitness, health, and wellness - and in its in my humble opinion that it needs to be addressed and improved...

Thats why we have today's episode with Fernando Montes, the exercise physiologist for LACoFD, on the show today to have a discussion about why we are doing it wrong and what we can do to make it better for the federal Wildland service...

Before coming to the LACoFD Fire Department, Fernando worked in human performance for three decades - including work with top D1 college athletic programs and tactical athletic development for special operations forces. Now he is the go to guy to for developing new systems based off of real world data to improve the lives and performance of Wildland Firefighters in the field...
