@c032970 yes, for a few reasons. You need to be in good health for your sake and the patients. You can't be going all out with CPR on a patient in cardiac arrest and then end up having a heart attack. You just add another patient to the scene. Another reason being, you want to represent EMS in the best way possible. Out of shape shows lack of discipline and you don't want the public thinking that. Work hard and you can do it.
THIS.. IS.. AWESOME!
