The rising cost of health care for high-risk public safety workers, such as police officers, place a premium on reliable methods of maointaining physical fitness and health.

It is the purpose of this article to suggest an in-service physical conditioning program that will greatly benefit both the employer and the employee, resulting in better health, reduced injury potential and reduce early disability retirements.
