Executive Protection Fitness - Lives Depend On It

level. In addition to the benefits of good physical condition and improved health, muscular response and reaction time in providing protective coverage and evacuation instinctively and quickly may ultimately be the deciding factor between life and death.

Your client's life is precious and you are paid well to guard it against violence, criminal and terrorist groups. However, the world can be a brutal place sometimes.

Because EP is a split-second business you can't always depend upon the use of firearms as the cure all against an attack on your principle, we must also depend on our physical condition.

A properly employed EP physical fitness program should enable you to provide both defensive and when necessary, offensive protective coverage for your client with split-second timing and accuracy. It should provide you with the agility, co-ordination and balance (motor-skills) as well as EP skill-related movements. As an EP agent your are required to make purposeful protective movements on a daily basis necessary to protect clients from harm.
