FIT First Responders is a 25 week gameplan to provide our nations first responders, our police, firefighters, medics and national guard with the best opportunity to be their best on the job, but most importantly in life. It is not a secret that we live in such a time that these heroes are seeing more and are exposed to more than ever before...crime is at an all time high, homeland terror is an everyday threat... Our nations HEROES are less appreciated and valued and the respect has been pulled out from under them to do their job to the best of their ability. Because of this we have seen our police, firefighters, medics, national guard, etc... affected in a tremendous way. Many of them because of the stresses of the job are now being affected in other areas of their life and physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, relationally, and financially are losing in life. Health related disease is running ramped within our nations first responders, suicide rate is up, divorces are at an all time high and the average mortality age is becoming earlier then ever before. That is why FIT First Responders was written. To provide them the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual training they need and deserve so that yes they can be FIT FOR DUTY but most importantly FIT FOR LIFE. WHAT?The book is a 25 chapter(lessons) on how to be YOUR BEST in your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, professional,relational, etc.. the book is all about...being FIT FOR LIFE. This is a very simple and practical gameplan with tangible action steps to be implemented along with over 30 FIT FOR LIFE stories from our nations finest and bravest. WHY? The book places emphasis on the mindset of a first responder and just like you train your body you an train your mind. Many first responders are losing in areas of their life and this book was created to give you a blueprint on how to WIN not only on the job but in life. WHO? For YOU, the first responder. It is also built out strategically to create a team environment and a WINNING culture within departments and agencies in a small group curriculum. This book will be used as a gameplan/curriculum within departments for personal development of our HEREOS.

Greg Ostrum Assistant Chief Jenks Fire Rescue "Jonathan Conneely, 'Coach JC' is the BEST LIFE COACH I know! He has a heart to help people WIN in LIFE in every aspect. I have seen his passion to help people succeed and have experienced his motivation in my own life, which has changed me for the better. This book will help you WIN, not just in fitness, but in your relationships and will catapult your walk with God as well. As a pastor, I encourage every first responder, citizen and pastor who sees this to make an investment in your life and someone else's life with this book." Paul Daugherty Senior Pastor, Victory Christian Center "Tulsans get to live the best lives we can because of first responder heroes like you. You watch out for us, and I am so thankful that Coach JC has dedicated himself to watching out for you. His Fit First Responders program is changing lives in Tulsa. And it is all here for you in this book - how to be your best physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and professionally." G.T. Bynum Mayor, City of Tulsa, Oklahoma "Most firefighters come into the profession fit for duty and excited and passionate about their new careers in the fire service. Over the years, however, many find that this career of high stress, unpredictable sleep, physical labor, firehouse food, and life in general has wreaked havoc on their bodies, both mentally and physically. FFR is a positive, challenging fitness program aimed at pushing the most fit firefighter to strive to be even better and motivating the most out-of-shape firefighter to take the first step for change and better health. FFR combines fitness, nutrition, positive thinking, and spirituality, and the impact it has made on many of the firefighters in our department has been life changing! I personally love seeing the positive attitude changes and the relationships that have been built between our city's firefighters, medics and police officers simply by coming together, sweating together, and finishing a challenging workout together. FIT FOR DUTY, FIT FOR LIFE is a lifesaving concept tailored specifically for those in the profession of saving lives!" Greta J.
