  • This topic is one near and dear to my heart and your career--Workouts for Fire Rescue Athletes. I've been in the fitness industry for over 25 years and in the fire service for over 15 years. This experience has given me the opportunity to write for some of the best trade magazines and present at big conferences. The most common question I get (either via email or at these conferences) is "What is the best workout for Firefighters, EMTs and Paramedics (Fire Rescue Athletes)? And, more importantly what are the components of the best Fire Rescue Athlete Workouts?
    Fire rescue athletes, firefighters, EMTs and medics, work in very uncertain situations and circumstances and have to be ready for almost anything. We can also agree that fitness is very important for performance on the fire/ rescue scene. Based on research and years of experience, here are the 5 common components that the all firefighters, EMTs and medics need to address and include in their fitness programs.

    I’m planning on becoming an EMT and one thing that’s been stressing me out is what kinda of strength I’ll need and what weights I’ll be exposed to that I’ll have to carry ( being a 5’1 female that’s terrifying) I work out almost daily but I definitely needed this video to really focus in on what to train. Very helpful!!! Also you look 30 wtf

      Don’t let your mindset about your size hold you back. I’ve been in EMS for 3 years (such a long time right? Haha), and some of the best partners I’ve had match your exact description. EMS always comes down to teamwork, you’re not going to be lifting the 750 lb patient into the back of the truck by yourself, as a 6 foot ex offensive lineman I couldn’t even do that. So definitely keep yourself in good shape, but don’t let your internal apprehensions get the best of you, you’ll do great.

    I dropped my internship for the EMT/EKG course my school offers... I'm a high school student and the instructor told us we would be on runs with actual EMTs... AHAHAhaha I'm not in the greatest shape for that 😭.

    I’ve been on a workout plan for about a year that’s a lot of HIIT training on the stairs and weights. Usually three days a week weights, three days a week core and cardio. I feel like my cardio and core is great to translate to the fire ground, but I want to change up the weight training to more functional fitness. Right now it’s chest/triceps, back/biceps, legs/shoulders. It does build strength, but not super functional. I have my second fire academy coming up in June (hopefully) and I want to make a change. Do you have functional weight training programs with a weekly schedule or anything like that? Thank you sir.

      I do too.. but, the intervals make it bearable and more applicable to what we do... they help.
