前几天（根据我妻子的要求）拉直书架时，我开始浏览一些书籍，尤其是训练书籍，尤其是拖延。
我有一个习惯在阅读时做笔记。这不仅限于有关健身的书；我也为小说或其他事情做。我在培训书中发现的一些笔记很有趣。它给了我一个读这些书时在身体和精神上的快照。
Here are some of the books on that shelf, what I’ve learned from them, and how they have shaped me over the years.
The Titles
第一本书是乔治·希恩（George Sheehan）博士变得健康和感觉很棒乔治·希恩（George Sheehan）博士。这本书影响了我个人和专业方面的各个方面的方式。它包含有关健康，健身和生活各个方面的大量信息。实际上，这是他的三本书（大）。我什至无法开始回想起我阅读的封面的次数，更不用说我刚刚经过并重读零件和零件的时间了。我将永远记得Sheehan博士去世的那一天；那是1993年11月1日，当我听到新闻时，我正在听NPR的“所有事情”。下雨了……我在跑步。
另一个是完整的运动医学书by Richard H. Domingues, MD. This one was loaded with little slips of paper. There was one noting toe injuries; I remember that involved my first “blackened” toenail after a race. There were a couple in the knee section, though I seem to recall that those had more to do with curiosity than an acute injury. The section on how to evaluate an injury seemed to be of particular fascination to me, since that is the section the book naturally fell open to.
体育教练的力量和耐力训练指南丹妮丝·维克斯滕（Denise Wiksten）和卡罗琳·彼得斯（Carolyn Peters）是我定期去培训特定运动的客户时要定期去的。在我儿子在高中时踢足球的足球部分中有一个书签，上面有一些笔记。在冲刺部分也有一些关于腿筋训练的笔记；那是几年前的。当时我记得那是我的弱点。顺便说一句，现在已经不复存在了。这本书是我可以反复打开的一本书，我将始终学到一些新的东西。
接下来是Ultimate Abs,aMen’s Healthpublication. This one had numerous bookmarks with questions scribbled on them. I remember it was a few years back when I was searching for some miracle move that would improve my abs; yes, even I can be susceptible to the thinking that there is something I can do that will change everything. Of course, it mostly contains variations of abdominal exercises that I already know, but it was a nice refresher course nonetheless. It has some good nutritional advice as well as exercise techniques. My favorite section title is “Part 6: Emergency! Step by Step Weight Loss Plans for the Desperate Man.”
另一个是Diva：释放您的女性力量由特里·沃尔什（Terri Walsh）。大约十年前，我从我在NSCA诊所遇到的一个女人的推荐中得到了这一建议。我提到我正在训练很多女性，她说这本书可能会使我对女性面临的一些思维/身体问题有所了解。
The bookmark in this one is from a used bookstore, and it’s heavily scribbled with questions and comments. At the time, I recall I felt it was a little too warm and fuzzy for my tastes but, after talking with my wife and my female clients, I found that most of what she said rang true with them. So, I reread it, took it to heart, and applied the lessons I learned.
所有这些书和十二本书都告知并影响了我自己的个人健身培训以及我培训他人的方式。我已经筛选并进行了比较，并将这些信息与我的个人经验进行了对比，并且随着时间的流逝，我提出了自己的哲学。我发现对我来说，这是最好的方法。
One Final Book
Going through these books and recalling how they shaped my life and, in turn, how I’ve tried to use the knowledge I gained from them to help others achieve their goals got me thinking about what I’ve been working to accomplish with these Firelife.com columns over the past years.
那是我知道我必须拿哪本书的时候……。
我把架子摘下了一本名为的书辛勤工作by Brian J. Sharkey and Paul O. Davis; this one I bought at the National NSCA convention in Las Vegas in 2008. I got a lot out of this one, and it had many legal pad pages scribbled with information. Basically, it defines physical work performance requirements. This is the academic way of saying, “What does it take to do a job?” and my major interest in buying it was for the definitions for firefighting.
Through research and testing it has been determined what is physically needed to do pretty much any job you can think of. There are a lot of strenuous jobs out there, and firefighting ranks right up there with the toughest of them. I’m not going to go into specifics at this time as to what the research has determined are the fitness levels required for various types of firefighting, since that could be a whole other column … or two.
这本书中有太多信息，以至于我在这个领域不可能为此做公正。我会说，我相信这是每位消防员都应该阅读的书，每个消防部门都应该手头。数据不会撒谎，结论令人清醒：除非您愿意达到24/7的身体准备，否则您将自己，船员和公众处于危险之中。它真的是那么简单。
这本书提出了一个问题：“您愿意在评估自己的健身时对自己残酷诚实吗？”然后，在进行了一些灵魂搜索之后，您是否愿意解决您不测量的每个领域？
您选择了一个极高的职业，重要的是您真正了解这一点。我已经与足够的消防员进行了交谈，以知道有些人非常重视这一责任，而另一些人则没有那么多。几年前，当我参加NSCA战术训练大会时，这变得非常明显。在研讨会结束后的晚上，酒吧被警察，消防员，军事人员和训练他们的NSCA专业人员填满。进行了弗兰克和“活泼”的讨论，偶尔有人在一两个言论中被犯罪。
The biggest misconception I noted was how many people were in denial regarding the risk they were putting themselves and others at because of their lack of fitness. I heard over and over comments along the lines of “I’m part of a small-town department; odds are that will never be an issue ….” or “Our tallest building is only two stories; how hard is it to run up two stories?” Too many firefighters seem to be willing to roll the dice with their fingers crossed rather than make the effort to be truly job fit.
不要等到太晚
I know that, statistically speaking, you may never be pushed to your breaking point while attacking a fire. You may never be in a situation where a life depends on your fitness as well as your skills … but you might.
即使您将30年的消防部门投入了消防，也不需要深入挖掘储备，也永远不会后悔知道，如果它已经准备就绪，您就已经准备好了。您的示例性健身将为您的工作生活中的每一天带来福利，并将继续每天退休。不要尽力而为，不要再过一天。
Finally, you never know how a book or a seemingly simple conversation might change someone for the better. The words you say and the way you live your life将要影响别人，即使您当时不知道。也许新秀消防员会看到您锻炼身体，进行额外的培训，在大学里接受复习课程，或者竭尽全力帮助苦苦挣扎的人。
相信我；这就是您每天都能产生的影响……
…以及您想留下的那种遗产。
