Welcome!

Hello Paramedic students, and welcome to your textbook!

This book has been assembled from two texts (see previous acknowledgements) to provide you with the tools you require to succeed in your Fitness courses as you pursue the Paramedic program at Cambrian College. Whether you are new to fitness and have never worked out before or have years of experience training to be your best, this textbook will provide you with knowledge and skills to apply to your lifestyle to meet your fitness goals. Although this book provides skills to train your body effectively, it’s your responsibility to cultivate the discipline and motivation to APPLY what you’ve learned! No amount of knowledge can replace the hours you’ll need to push your body to improve and meet the Paramedic program’s fitness standards (see next section).
