The SWAT Workout Book

I am former military and current a large metro-area police officer. Can you help me with “How to Get in SWAT Shape”? I need to focus on how a patrol officer can get himself in shape to join the SWAT team.

I wrote a book titled The SWAT Workout that helps a full range of police officers -- from recruits to SWAT Team members. This book has over 25 weeks of workouts in it and focuses on programs such as:

1 - A beginner / intermediate workout: Recruits to ace the Police Academy and standard fitness tests,

2 - Intermediate workout: For active police officers to prepare for SWAT training or other Emergency Response Teams (ERT), This is actually the FBI Field Officer SWAT Team Test preparation guide.

3 - Advanced workout: The hardest workouts in the book are for active SWAT team members to maintain and enhance their fitness.

It was developed from over five years of training law enforcement officers at every level to prepare for various PT tests. The best advice is to make time before your shift to workout. 7 out of 10 people decide to NOT workout after a long days work even if it was planned to do so. Running, upper body and core strength and leg stamina is highly emphasized in any special tactics team. The SWAT Workout focuses on these issues and provides a running plan with non impact cardio options, weight training, and calisthenics to work the entire body.

Here are some testimonials from officers who used the workout plan:

I wanted to thank you for your swat workout . I am a 51 year old firefighter /paramedic /peace officer and was trying to become a tactical paramedic . I am presently on my third six weeks of the SWAT candidate workout and have gone from 235 to189 in weight . I could not climb the 28 ft rope on the o course and I just conquered it a week ago. I just made the team and they are sending me to schools for tactical medic and swat in the next 2 months. I'm sure you have plenty great testimonials about your books , but I wanted to give you one more and say that I would recommend it to anyone and everyone! Thanks again

We took our SWAT PT test yesterday. They are not ALL the same events the current workouts are designed to address. However, I did 8 pull ups wearing our 22 lbs. vest, ran the 40 in 6.4 seconds wearing the vest and starting prone and ran the 1/2 mile in 3:27. The standards are 2 pull ups, 7.7 seconds for the 40 and 1/2 mile in 4:45. Even though I am the oldest guy on the team by about 10 years, my scores put me in the middle of the team scores. The training program is working. I am going to ask you to put together a 6 week PT prep program to specifically address the FBI SWAT PT test. Thanks, J...

Get in SWAT shape and be prepared for any police academy and fitness test.

TRX Workouts - This is a great device to use if you are failing at pushups and pullups. The TRX rows will help you build your chest, shoulders, triceps and bicep / back muscles like a set of weights, but also work the core at the same time.
