Amy Poehler Just Described Our Dream Exercise Class
The researchers concluded that exercise yielded very similar results that certain preventive drug options did for the same health condition. Both options helped to lower people’s likelihood of death after suffering from a stroke. They were also effective in preventing diabetes and preventing coronary heart disease from getting worse after it was first detected. Patients who took diuretics instead of other medications and exercise had a lower mortality rate. “I’m not saying that people who are taking drugs for these conditions should stop taking them-that would be a gross misinterpretation of the findings,” study co-author, John Ioannidis stated according to Medical Xpress .

Exercise: Functional vs. Specific for Firefighters
We all pull , push, squat, twist, flex, and step everyday of our lives, so that means we should be using exercises that mimic these basic movements so we all become more functional. Exercises like squats, lunges, rows, and so on are functional to everyday life regardless of your age or athletic ability. So, if everyone needs to be functional, how does an athlete or tactical athlete differ from the regular population? Easy..specificity! Merriam-Websters definition of specific is restricted by nature to a particular individual, situation, relation, or effect. So, a squat may be functional to a regular individual, but a split squat with one kettlebell will be specific to a firefighter.
