Before I got into the fire service (almost 15 years ago) I worked with athletes, some amateur, some pro. The main goal of the training was to create workouts that would improve performance (and in some cases body aesthetics). The first thing we would do is evaluate the motions and muscles needed in their sport, then provide exercises that would challenge and improve them. These, in essence, are the basics of "functional training." So, when I talk about "functional" firefighter fitness, I am referring to the physical aspects that we, as firefighters, need to do our job. Therefore, in order for an exercise to be "functional" for firefighters, it must effectively train us to meet the demands of the fire and rescue ground. Would you agree?
Would you also agree that the older traditional weight-lifting machines and exercises seen in most firehouses do not ‘functionally” address the physical challenges we as fire rescue athletes need? I routinely go to different firehouse gyms and see the old universals and leg press machines and someone benching (of course). Now, we can argue all day about whether or not the leg press machine and bench press are good exercises; all I have to say is that if you are on the fireground and pushing hundreds of pounds off your chest or back, you have other things to worry about.
As stated above, we need to incorporate exercises in our workouts that help us move more efficiently and effectively on (and off) the fireground and the leg press and bench press are not the best options. If you are not training like a fire rescue athlete, you should. Here are three exercises that you should incorporate into your workout program that can make a huge impact on your performance. Take a look at the video and try to incorporate these exercises or variations of them in your workout program.

Incorporated the Ceiling press into my workout. Thank you.
I'm not a fireman, but I aspire to be one. My body is not even in the acceptable physical fitness yet.So I'm just starting out with strengtening my stamina first. But this video is nice. This might help me in planning my self training regimen in the future.Thanks a lot.
This will definitely help. Start slow and have a plan, it sounds like you are doing the right things. Build stamina, strength, power then really work on recovery ... Let me know how I can help. #GETFRF
Same I've been going to the gym everyday and building up my physical appearance so I can be prepared.

@@getfrf doesn't help with virus been trying to find a buddy to help do stuff with. I think I got studies down. I'm working on my cfi right now and stuff. One step at a time really.
Great video
Thanks!
The subtle roasts are hilarious
as a 5’6 almost 16 year old female if I build a lot of stamina and strength over the next couple years (and hopefully grow taller) will the odds be a little more likely of becoming a firefighter?
You are young, just work on establishing good habits.. both in the gym and in life. Work hard at your fitness and studies and good things will happen.. including a job in the fire service. Let me know what I can do to help.

ive got a year to train before i go into the school i’ve wanted to my hole life to do this for a living ive been trying to figure out the requirements physically and a way to get myself ready for it if you have any recommendations on what i should do that would help me out very much thank you
also my name is morgan i’m going in with my brother luke we have been doing tons of research and surprisingly it has not helped us it pretty much leads nowhere so i figured why not try the coments
Hey Morgan, thanks for the message. First thing is to keep up on your studies, you need to take some entrance exams that require some math so make sure you apply your studies. Next thing is to prepare physically. Start with working mobility and strength and build in your cardio and stamina. Here is a great place to start for more information: get.firerescuefitness.com/40freeworkout
Fire Rescue Fitness thanks
Hello, I want to improve my fitness because I will be a firefighter. What are the training tips for me as a firefighter? How many weights do you use in your training and what are the standards approved by you? Thank you.
Great questions. One of the things I recommend is to start with the R50 Program with FRF. This free program will give you insight on how to train functionally for the job. www.R50Challenge.com
I just started working out again in hopes to become a professional.
Stay consistent, make the commitment, it is worth it. Let me know how I can help. Zam
Is there anything I can do at my local fire department at 14? Maybe I could volunteer and help clean the trucks or the house. I'm not much of a chef and I know they gotta stay fit, so that's off the list.
Hello, I would check with them and have your parents help you find some options. Some departments have junior programs. Let me know if this helps.
@@getfrf Thanks. I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the information and for being there for people during some of the worst points in their life.
Lol unless you're chief
Had to get that in...
