consistency, discipline and effort i know you will

Yep double post moving a little slow. Oh yeah don't be discouraged by some of the other knuckle draggers. There is nothing wrong in recognizing your limitations, wanting to over come them and asking for help. The question is what are you willing to do to prepare. There is always a solution and...

Well don't be sad. Be determined :) Can you define "pre-placement" test. Also, I may be a bit dense here but what were the instructions involved in bringing the weight to your neck? And I guess I am also curious as to whether this test is a deal breaker as far as your employment/school. I ask...

NREMT08, iwould very much like to see the standards if you don't mind. if they're too big to post here could you post a link to the site if possible or cut-n-paste them in an email? i'll pm you my address. thanks much

Austin/Travis County EMS This is part of the testing process pre-hire. Though I do not know what they do after hire to ensure that the staff are maintiaing these levels, it is very refreshing to know that some services require a particular state of readiness before you waltz through the door...

hope it helps

very well. not alot of time but we'll see what we can do. can you pm me exactly what one or two of your workouts look like. include the resistance used. thanks

okjay cool. you are expected to test again next week or in two weeks?

So the diagnosis was....................... so what are you doing currently and what kind of functionality and/or limitation presents itself with your arm?

sorry about your luck, that really sucks!! A couple of questions 1. can you define 'difficulty' with regards to the stair chair. 2. can you also elaborate on the arm injury as well 3. since you are required to pass these bench marks, i am assuming that your program also has a PT portion...

Nope. Just structure your training/milage that week to account for the test. It's just another training day. Treat it as such.

It may not be such a myth after all. The first link is a blog from a trail runner with a bit too much free time but penned a very nice primer on the subject. http://runtrails.blogspot.com/2005/01/understanding-runners-high.html The really interesting part are the posted comments. It...

I stumbled across this a while ago. hope it helps: Workout Program for a posted ambulance

Buyer beware!! Don't get sucked in by slick marketing, boobs and guys with six packs, telling you that this is the latest and greatest thing since Ron Burgundy. First off I don't own the program so I cannot attest to the speed at which the changes occur. However, in looking at the...

weights, calesthenics, pilates or yoga how about all of the above. The requirements of the the job if you are purely ambulance based obviously don't require the same physiologic demands as fire fighting. However that does not mean your body systems don't need cardiovascular conditioning to...

I started in Shorin-Ryu Karate some years ago after a long absence from any formal instruction. The thing that drew me to it was the atmosphere. No youngsters, as a matter of fact i was the "kid" in the group:rolleyes: The important thing is find a place where you are comfortable above all...

I keep myself in better than average shape by choice. IMO doing something, anything is always better than sitting on your *** and talking about doing it. I had a conversation with some relatively young E's and a baby medic last week about cleaner nutrition and exercise and the consistent...

Its fairly self explanatory. I like to think that I am bigger, stronger and prettier now than in my 20's :D

Buddy of mine used to work for AMR and they had worked in specific lunch and meal periods into their contract language. The practical application was not so fun as some of their idiot supervisors would wake up crews to inform them that it was time for their break. maybe i am in the minority here...
