Get Fire Rescue Fit with this Firefighter Workout Option.

I get a lot of requests for example workouts from the various Fire Rescue Fitness Programs.  This is one of the workouts you will find in the NEW  FRF "Fit for Duty" Fat Loss for Firefighters Workout Program (now with the FRF Workout App)

This is a great Firefighter Body weight workout that doesn't require a lot of equipment and is very efficient (like you need to be on a fire/rescue scene).   Give this a try!


You must perform the active warm-up first.  This warm-up will increase your core temperature, improve range of motion and get you ready for the workout.  (Click here for a quick overview of the warm-up exercises).

 

Perform 2 circuits of the following 5 exercises:
1.  Chops (5-10 reps)
2.  Knee Hugs (5-10 reps each)
3.  Spidermans (5-10 reps each)
4.  Knees side to side (5-10 reps each)
5.  Quadraped Rotations (5-10 reps each)

Then progress to the workout.... (scroll down).

Here is a recap of the workout (you can change the exercises based on your available equipment).  Remember to always start with and do not skip the active warm-up (see above).
