Fitness Training For A Close Protection Operative

Fitness Training For A Close Protection Operative

Due to the nature of the possible hazardous types of threat that you as Close Protection Operative and a client can face, it is imperative that you attain and maintain a high level of physical fitness.A distinct lack of fitness will mean that you are not able to carry out the purpose for which you were hired and as such the first time a client needs to be extracted from a situation, you will be unable to perform. What this means in the short term is that your client is left open to threats and in the long term you will be unemployable.When working a detail you may find that your fitness may have to be utilised for something other than providing client protection at official business appointments.The possibility that you will be asked to accompany a client or a member of their immediate family on a long training run is pretty high and if your fitness level is not up to it, then your client will start asking questions of you and those who have employed you.Thankfully the vast majority of the Close Protection workforce share a professional attitude and have the motivation and discipline necessary for the job in hand.But let us say that you are not one of that type and no matter how hard you try you cannot maintain the discipline necessary to keep going on their volition, what can you do?Training on a consistent basis can be achieved through the use of a little imagination.The employment of a couple of techniques can help shift your attitude and get you back on the horse, metaphorically speaking.The first is to get involved in a group activity with a local club, such as running, cycling, badminton, tennis, hill walking, swimming, etc.What you are looking for with a group activity such as these is the back up and friendly cajoling from like minded others who will help keep your interest and stop you from slacking off.And if you take hill walking as an example, you will be so caught up in the sights and sounds of what is going around you that you will not even realise that you are exercising.One other trick you can employ is to get involved in sports that enhance your close protection skills and improve the look of your CV at the same time.What I am indeed referring to are activities like Mixed Martial Arts, Skiing, Snowboarding and Rock Climbing amongst others.Personally my own particular favourite is MMA as I believe there is no finer mix of aerobic and anaerobic exercise possible and if you do not believe me, look at how hard fighters are breathing after the first 5 minute round of any fight.You may have noticed that I have not included sports such as rugby and American football.I have good reason for that and it is I do not feel that the risk of suffering a career ending injury is balanced against getting fitter.Many of you may mention that MMA also has the potential for serious injury but in my opinion a good grounding in self defence is an absolute necessity and far outweighs the risk.These simple techniques should go a long way to aiding you in getting motivated but if not then you should start questioning yourself and decide if Close Protection is really the vocation for you.Go Executive Protection Ltd prides itself on only providing high quality top level Close Protection Officers and Witness Protection Officers and doing so at a price.
