Ep 96: Training Your Mind to Train Your Body with Officer Greg Parker

Summary: <br> These days, if you’re involved in an foot pursuit that’s covered by the media, and you wake up the next day and realize it’s gone viral, that’s not a good thing. <br> <br> <br> <br> Luckily, for Officer Greg Parker of the Baltimore Police Department, <a href="https://youtu.be/ShJHXyWxD10">he was blasted all over the news and social media</a> because of solid police work that was such a display of athleticism and professionalism that everyone – even the media – stopped to applaud. <br> <br> <br> <br> Parker is the epitome of the tactical athlete. However, he wasn’t always that way and in this episode, he shares how he lost 80 pounds in under a year. Like many, he left the academy fit and healthy but the shift work and stress quickly got to him (I mean, he works in frickin’ Baltimore, people!). He ballooned to a heavy weight and became a liability to himself and his partners. <br> <br> <br> <br> One day he’d had enough and he recommitted himself to his fitness and health. It’s an amazing story of how just taking one step at a time can lead to massive results, how you don’t need a guru or a strict diet to achieve your goals, and that simply starting is the biggest hurdle of all. <br> <br> <br> <br> Check him out on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/388675588162636/posts/743696299327228/">Facebook</a> or on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/parker.gfitness/">@parker.gfitness </a><br> <br> <br> <br> *************************************<br> <br> <br> <br> I want to thank our sponsors for this episode, Hard Head Veterans and Blue Line Flex. <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://www.hardheadveterans.com/">Hard Head Veterans</a> is a veteran-owned company that employs a lot of cops and works hard to deliver top tier ballistic helmets to law enforcement at the best price possible.
