Weird Hours

Here is a great blog post from Nerd Fitness

How to Stay in Shape Despite Working Weird Hours

Here are some of his key points and they are right on:

1) You need to stay on track with your nutrition. Some planning is required, but not so much creativity. On our twitter feed (@CF_Indomitable) you would have had a real time image of what one police training officer thought is a good mid-afternoon snack.  The trunk size box of donuts every morning was just too much to add.


 2) Watch your liquid calories.  Those energy drinks are scary.  You know what is in water, tea and coffee, so stick with that and if the tea or coffee needs to be a little sweet, make is stevia.

3)  He's got some recommendations for a smoothie. This is so much better at home with a blender and fresh ingredients.  Blueberries from the yard are a reality in the NW!

4) He warns of empty calories.  7-11 or the Plaid is not likely to be a good place to find nutrition, at noon or 0300.

5) Strength training...of course.

6) Spread out your workout to when you can.  Foot patrol is not a workout, but is way better than sitting in your car.  Get active during that 10 hours, or 14 if you are holding over. If you are subject to callouts (DREs, investigators, criminalists, etc) that occur frequently consider planning to work out 7 days a week and using callouts as your rest day.

7) Just stay active.  Lots of good ideas here.  With every patrol computer having an air card, you have been issued a "standing desk" that looks a lot like the trunk of your patrol car!  It takes just a second to get out of the car and start typing and is way better for you--and if you set it up right, maybe better officer safety as well.

Overhead Squat--time to take on this goat

                                              OHS does not work without great mobility.  Episode 71
                                              from K-Star can help.

                                              Here is a WOD demo with OHS.

                                              Here is a good instructional video. 

                                              This is a real goat.  We like the real goats, it's the
                                              figurative goats we are going after.  Don't be surprised
                                              to see programming involving OHS on the "menu."
