Hello,
So I have started my course as an EMT-B...
I am 175Ib. Female, 5ft...(Yes..im short) and healthy. I exercise 3-4 times a week to keep my cardio up which includes, running on 30-45/ sometimes an hr to push on treadmill(Occasionally incline), Stair steps for 30min, do abit of yoga to help with balance and flexibility...I guess its without saying..warm ups such as, Jump rope 15min(SOMETIMES), push ups and sit ups. Fairly healthy, natural lower body strength.
-A few weeks in the course we were introduced with the Stretcher(Cot), Backboard and Stair chair... I had trouble lifting the Cot above my chest and let the legs fully unfold(this is with a classmate laying on the Cot). What are some good workouts that you do?? I dont want to get beefy, but just strong enough to lift a Cot with a patient...
