Whether you're on the job as a tactical athlete or managing physical demands in construction or healthcare, one truth holds across the board:
At SiteWell Solutions, we’ve coached thousands of individuals in high-risk, high-performance roles. What we’ve found is that real results are built through simple, sustainable strategies that align with your goals—not someone else’s standard of fitness.
Start by asking: What do I need to be able to do in my role? What do I want from my body outside of work?
Your answers serve as a compass. They guide your training, clarify your goals, and shape your definition of success. For some, that means improving long-term health. For others, it’s about maximizing performance under pressure. Either path is valid—but choosing the wrong one can lead to burnout or injury.
This model emphasizes long-term quality of life and injury prevention. It focuses on:
This is the most practical approach for high-risk occupations where longevity and resilience matter more than peak output. It’s the foundation we use across occupational wellness programs.
This model is for those training with a competitive or duty-specific edge in mind—military prep, firefighting, or elite athletic goals. It requires full lifestyle alignment: nutrition, sleep, stress management, and more.
While powerful, it isn’t always sustainable or necessary for most of the workforce. This approach works best when there’s clear motivation and structured support.
Consistency beats intensity. Period. Your goal should be sustainable activity—not soreness, guilt, or burnout.
You don’t need to train for an hour every day to see results. In fact, three 20-minute sessions per week may serve you better than one exhausting session that leaves you discouraged.
Want to improve cardiovascular fitness? Raise your heart rate with walking, biking, or stairs.
Want to build strength? Push, pull, squat, lunge, and hinge using your bodyweight or household objects.
If life throws a curveball and you miss a workout? No problem. Keep going. One missed session doesn’t erase your progress. What matters is getting back into motion.
