Why Physical Fitness Isn’t Optional in Executive Protection
This job is physically demanding. You may be on your feet for 16 hours a day. You may have to run, fight, or carry your principal to safety. Your physical fitness is not a matter of personal pride; it’s a professional obligation. A lack of fitness can put you, your team, and your principal at risk. This isn’t about being a bodybuilder. It’s about functional fitness: cardiovascular endurance, strength, and flexibility. For newcomers, make fitness a non-negotiable part of your routine. For veterans, fight the complacency that can come with age and experience.
