The above workout is an example workout from the popular FRF Fat loss for Firefighters Program (click here for more information).
This is the same workout that past Fit for Duty Challenge Winners used. You too can get results like this...

When I started the FRF Rapid Fat Loss Workout I weighted 310.3 lbs with a body fat of 36%. I was able to lose over 60 pounds at the end I weighted 243.2 lbs with a body fat of 24.5%!
My health was starting to get in the way of my life and the job was starting to get hard for me. My weight was really starting to slow me down in every aspect of life and the job.
The program truly helped me not only lose weight but I’ve seen a huge change in my day to day life (and not just at work). I have more energy and I look forward to getting outside and being active. Around the station I’m the guy now that says let’s go outside and train, do some hands on stuff.
The programs was really easy to follow–everything was laid out for you and if you didn’t know how to do a workout you could go online and check it out (which was really nice for me). I’m still working (every day) to get in even better shape to insure that I am always “fit for duty.” Thanks for this great program! -Kevin Glover

“Hey Aaron. Just wanted to say thanks for the easy to follow workout program and eating guidelines. Today is day 28 of the program for me and I am happy to report I had great success. Total weight loss for me in the 28 days was 10.5#, I lost 1 1/2 inches off my waist, 5 inches off my belly. What a nice feeling it is to have loose fitting pants again. Thanks again and I will let you know the results when the program is finished. Thanks Again and Take Care.”

“So far, I LOVE IT! Lost 8 pounds in the first month and my core is stronger than ever. I feel more flexible and move faster. The interval overhauls are a great idea and an easy way to incorporate “real” fire ground movements. Looking forward to the next 6 weeks…..”

“Hey Aaron, I just have to send you a message to thank you for the workout program. As of today I have lost 22 lbs., my body has definitely changed and become more defined and my turnouts are fitting me better. The Eating Guidelines were a huge help and the cardio intervals kicked my butt in-shape. I have a lot more energy! I don’t feel rundown and tired after long calls now. Thank You!”
