In today’s episode, I talk with Chris about what drives him, his approach to physical fitness, how he structures his workouts, and his no-excuses perspective to firefighting and the dynamic challenges that lie therein.
Chris Ruano works in the southern California region as a Captain, where he is dedicated to the tactical approach to firefighting and doing what it takes to be physically capable to do the job.
Being a firefighter in southern California offers a dynamic challenge of not only being well-versed in structural firefighting, but there is a BIG emphasis on and a need for wildland firefighting tactics and strategy. With “seasonal” fire threats that demand firefighters to have dynamic resiliency when it comes to physical performance, Chris offers some insight as to how we can individually approach answering the call.
