Great few days in Las Vegas with the IAFF at the V Great few days in Las Vegas with the IAFF at the Vincent J Bollon 2023 Affiliate Leadership Training Summit! Really enjoyed meeting everyone, sharing updates on Fit To Thrive, and discussing the importance of implementation. If a program is implemented poorly or even moderately well, its goals are unlikely to be achieved. With high quality implementation, success is much more likely! 1. Describe your objectives – Clarify what you would like to achieve. 2. Assess your needs – Identify factors that influence current attitudes, behaviors, etc. 3. Identify relevant strategies – Describe your steps to effect change. 4. Put the plan into action – Leverage facilitators and implement as intended. 5. Evaluate progress – Document the process and measure outcomes. A big thank you to the IAFF’s leadership and everyone involved for their continued efforts to improve fire fighter health and wellness! #iaff #iaffalts2023 #leadership #firefighter #firefighterwellness #firefighterfitness #iaffwfi #iaffpeerfitness #implementation #fittothrive

Just 10 minutes of exercise or physical activity can... …Reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. …Improve feelings of connectedness and social support. …Increase confidence and emotional control. …Enhance body image and lower feelings of guilt. …Improve cognition, attention, and intrinsic motivation. Tremendous work being done by the Mental Health and Physical Activity Research Centre at the University of Toronto to better understand the link between exercise and mental health.

What you choose to do for exercise is important. What you choose to do for exercise is important. It can bring you joy. It can challenge you. It can make you better. But to take advantage of the opportunities that an exercise can provide, we should also place an emphasis on HOW we perform. It is not ‘squatting’ the exercise that helps us jump higher and run faster; it is our execution of the squat that can change the way we jump or run in a positive way. Likewise, it is not ‘deadlifting’ the exercise that helps us avoid low back injuries, it is the way we lift and the movement habits that can be established with the deadlift over time that make us more resilient. Every exercise can be performed in many ways. Choose an option that will bring you joy, challenge you, and make you better! #performanceredefined #movementmatters #makeexercisematter #physicalliteracy #7keyfeatures #movementhabits #iaffwfi #iaffpeerfitness #movebetter #performbetter #fittothrive

Honoured to part of the working group that is shap Honoured to part of the working group that is shaping the standards for Comprehensive Occupational Medical Programs and Health-Related Fitness Programs for the fire service. NFPA 1582 and NFPA 1583 continue to prepare and protect thousands of career and volunteer fire fighters across the United States and Canada. Check out the latest edition of each standard for information regarding the design and implementation of comprehensive programs that will save lives! #nfpa #iaff #iafc #firefighter #firefighterwellness #firefighterfitness #firefighterhealth #iaffwfi #iaffpeerfitness #performanceredefined #fittothrive
Cancer is the leading cause of line-of-duty deaths Cancer is the leading cause of line-of-duty deaths in the fire service. Exercise is now widely accepted as one of the best things anyone can do to lower theirrisk of developing cancer, control disease progression, and enhance physical functioning and psychosocial outcomes. The literature also supports the use of exercise before, during and after cancer therapy and suggests that regular exercise can reduce the risk of developing many cancers, several of which are more prevalent amongst fire fighters. A recent study published in Medicine & Science in Sports and Exercise examined the proportion of cancer cases that could be attributed to physical inactivity and concluded that many cases could be avoided by promoting interventions that aimed to help the population be more active. The fight against cancer in the fire service must involve exercise. More fire fighters. More active. More often. #firefightercancer #ffcancermonth #extinguishcancer #firefighterwellness #iaffwfi #exerciseandcancer #moreactive #beactive #fightcancer #performanceredefined #iaffpeerfitness #fittothrive
