3 exercises every serving or aspiring military, police, and first responder needs in their training right now.
If your job demands you move fast, react instantly, and perform under pressure, your legs need to be trained for explosiveness, not just strength.
Here's what to add to your program:
1. Bounds
Two foot takeoff, two foot landing, driving as far forward as possible with each rep. This builds explosive hip and leg power that transfers directly into your sprints, your agility, and your ability to accelerate fast under any conditions.
2. Prone Position Sprints
Starting from the ground and getting to full speed instantly is a skill. This trains your nervous system to react and accelerate from zero, exactly what you'll face on assessment day and in the field.
3. Walking Lunges
Single leg strength and stability through a full range of motion builds the foundation your explosive work sits on. Don't neglect them.
Train these consistently and you'll feel the difference in your run times, your beep test, and how you move when it matters most.
I've put together a full list of fundamental exercises every military, police, and first responder candidate should be doing.
