Why Follow a Firefighter's Workout Regimen?
A message from Captain Mike Stefano - firefighter, fitness pro, author and creator of The Firefighter's Workout �
Hello, I'm Michael Stefano, captain with the FDNY, as well as an ACE certified trainer and author of a really unique exercise book. I introduced my get-fit system to the world with The Firefighter's Workout Book (HarperCollins) in the fall of 2000. Firefighters, busy executives, stay-at-home moms & dads, people from all walks of life have discovered this sure-fire way to shape up.
 MICHAEL STEFANO is the creator and author of the Firefighter's Workout (Harper Collins 2000). Mr. Stefano is a health and fitness writer and contributor to eDiets, eFitness, & Firehouse.Com. In addition, Michael's articles have appeared on AOL, MSN, and Yahoo! His workouts have been featured in magazine and newspapers from around the country, as well as in numerous network and cable TV segments. He also offers a customized version of his amazing program, via a comprehensive 15-point fitness profile form.
"My program is a no-nonsense approach to exercise and weight loss that will not only get you fit, but will also fit into your life".
Working out had always been a big part of my life. As a young man my desire to be a firefighter pushed me to take no chances passing the grueling physical offered by the FDNY. Not interested in looking like a bodybuilder, I was after the functional strength and endurance that came with a lean, hard body. My dedication provided me with enough day-in, day-out motivation to reach my goals, laying the foundation for my current approach.
Back To Basics
Early on in my career, my unit responded to a call for a fire on the top floor of a 23-story hirise apartment house. While huffing and puffing my way up the blacked-out stairwell, I realized I didn't have the luxury of lugging around any excess body weight. There was only one way I�d make it safely through the next 20-years -fit and lean. (skip intro - go to custom workout)
But much had changed. No longer did I have a specific test date, or that one big event to prepare for. Being a firefighter, versus training to become a firefighter, meant staying in shape for years to come � a lifetime commitment. At the same time, the responsibilities of adulthood were demanding a greater percentage of my day, leaving far less time for fitness or exercise.
Firefighters have a way of attacking a problem head on, breaking down complex situations to their most basic elements. Twenty years ago, in the back room of that Brooklyn firehouse, I did just that. Without a lot of time and even less money, lifesaving workout programs were devised and put to the real-life test - and they passed with flying colors.
Mass Appeal
From there the program evolved. Customized to meet each participant�s goals, it was repeatedly tweaked and improved. The idea was to work with a individual, much like a personal trainer, but with the intention of educating rather than just leading blindly. This produced both remarkable and long-lasting results. People were losing weight while getting stronger and healthier.
Once the system is understood, and the basic principles mastered, it can be infinitely adjusted, and without the help of a trainer. From weight loss to weight gain, building strength to improving health, the proper customization will deliver big results in less time. Conversely, approaching your exercise program in a haphazard fashion will accomplish little.
I urge you to take the first all-important step towards a lean, trim and healthy body. My personalized program is the perfect way to get started. It includes everything you need; your totally personalized program manual, a copy of my fully illustrated workout book, and a six-month exercise journal. The deluxe option also comes with fully illustrated and personalized exercise charts.
